Anyone else in Molting season?

One of our girls finished recently, and most of the others are in various phases of molting. Just one egg a day these days. We're in Maine.

I live in New Portland near Farmington. My chickens don't seem to be molting. I got them last year about this time. RIR and BR were just finishing up. Leg horns never molted per se. they are were still pullets. Just started to lay. My BSLW didn't molt in 18 when I got them and didn't molt last year. And I see no signs this year. I have weird birds. They won't eat oatmeal, scrambled eggs. They won't eat cucumber, peas, banana, . They like chicken livers and carrots boiled. They like boiled gizzards and hearts (chickens) The won't peck at a cabbage or lettuce. IDK. They like watermelon, they love love love red seedless grapes. Cut them up small and they are gluttons. I was feeding them blueberries but then I see diarrhea bad. I stopped the blue berries.
 
Alright. Sooo those who have wintered ducks. Did your ducks still lay or did they stop all together until spring?

My ducks don't lay during winter anymore. But they are older: 6.5 and 5.5. When they were young one layed daily all winter. Some layed a couple times a week. And some took a couple months off. But nobody layed during molting.
