    Should 8 month old Delaware's be Molting?

    I have a flock of 50 layers, new this year. We have Delawares, Ameraucanas, and Marans. 3 of our Delawares have started to molt at around 8 months. I have checked them out pretty well and they don't seem to have any bugs of any sort, just looks like a normal molt, but a year early! Any ideas?
