I have never heard of a rooster being the cause of a lack of laying, but then again I am new to the chicken thing. Is he being too rough? Your girls look to be in awesome shape if he is. I have two buff orpingtons that I got in April and one just started laying a week and a half ago. The other looks like she is behind in her development. Her comb and waddle are still peachy colored and smaller. But she squatted for the first time for me yesterday, so do you think she may start laying in a few weeks?

I honestly have no idea. I hope she does lay for you soon. Some hens need a rooster to kind of kick start their hormones into laying.
I think adding a random rooster in with them upset their hierarchy. We will see if anything changes if we move him.
