 I am very new to keeping chicken . I had 4 rodisland reds who laid every day for the last year but since i introduced 3 new young chicken , who were supposed to be on point of laying evrything stopped . that is now 6 weeks ago  .   please help

I'd guess it might be due to the stress of introducing new birds. Have the originals remained well, or have they developed coughs and sneezes? Has there been any bullying?
The other thing might be the hot weather - if you've had it where you are? Mine have definately slowed down/stopped laying on the hottest days but resumed as soon as the temp drops.
Hope this gives you some ideas.

Are they free range? Sometimes a disturbance such as new company, will make them lay eggs away from the nestbox.
