why do they molt in the winter?
How old are they? Could they be having other issues, like laying issues? Were they laying well before the molting started?- Happy Chooks

A 9 month old pullet can molt, though it's usually not a hard molt. I have several pullets in molt right now that were hatched in late February. I have a few young molters every year.- Happy Chooks

They molt because tattered feathers don't retain warmth, and spring is the time for raising chicks. The new feathers come in pretty fast, so there's no need to worry.- Happy Chooks
