Everyone is going through their first adult molt. Everyone but this one has been doing a hard molt. Except for a few tail feathers, this one hen doesn't even look like she's molting. She was the first to start molting though but it's been an easy one. She started well over a month ago. Since I've had her, she's been a good layer when she's not broody. She gets broody quite often but hasn't been since the summer.
She still egg squats for me, but I'm not getting any eggs. My yard is pretty bare so it's easy to search for hidden nests. I haven't found any.
In September, I added two new birds to the flock. I'd think she'd be over it by now? I thought about confining her to see if she's laying but wonder if that would end up making her quit laying?
