No that is not bad... We feed our chickens ALL our kitchen scraps.

Update on chicken behavior:We moved to a new house in May which had a beautiful coop and two barnevalder chickens who were about a year old. Thu started laying a few weeks later and have us an egg every other day throughout the summer. They started molting about 6 weeks ago and haven't laid since. We live north of Seattle so the weather has really started to change. One is totally full feathered again but the other looks a bit scraggly still. Is it normal to take this long to molt and have no eggs the whole time?
Also, we got chicks in May who are 23 weeks old. They have not yet started laying. Should we be concerned there too? Since the whole flock isn't laying? I've been looking around the yard to see if I can find eggs and haven't seen any laid inappropriately but have just been looking in surface areas.
Lastly, it finally got in to the 30s last night. Do we need to do anything special with the coop for cold weather besides making sure the water doesn't freeze?
