Clean coop, not laying

[jfishfam]

I just wondered if doing a major coop clean would stress chickens so they wouldn't lay for a while?

It shouldn't unless they're really skittish and not used to your presence. You might see some drop in production anyway because of the shorter days.

They have been molting but I think they're pretty much done. And our ducks aren't laying either. We should be getting about a dozen chicken and 7 duck eggs daily but we are getting 2-3 eggs for each a day. It wouldn't stress me but people want eggs finally and now they aren't laying.
