    For the new folks that haven't experienced a molt yet.

    Thanks. I let them free range and I'm afraid they are going to start laying somewhere in the yard without my knowledge. Another weird thing is ever since the molting process started only half of them sleep on the roost. The others sleep in the nesting boxes and I want to put an end to it...
