Where are you located? How old are your birds? This time of year in the northern hemisphere production slows or stops.

How old are your hens? Most of my older hens have quit laying to molt.

about 9months - 2 years old my oldest in the flock is 2 years is this why there are feathers everywhere as if there were a fight lol.

Yep. The feathers will fly this time of year. Looks like a pillow fight happened. Your older ones will definitely molt, and as far as the younger ones it seems many that age will molt as well.
