i have 3 newhampshire red hens 1yr and 4 months old with feather loss on there back and no eggs from them since june. and there has,nt been a rooster around since the first of july.
 
It takes 7 weeks for the molting process to complete itself. Has it been over that time period?
 
yes its been about 3 months i have 9 hens all around that age and they seem to be the only 3 that havent been laying. they eat they are healthy. they are the only 3 with feather loss.
 
hmm it turns out I was wrong. Take a look at this site, they said that the molting process can take as long as 4-6 months

Take a look:
