My chickens will be a year old, this week. I have been getting eggs almost daily, from all of them, this winter. For the last week eggs have been the range of 2-5 per day vs. 4-6 and today there were zero. I have also started to notice feathers in their hen house, not tons, but a lot where there hadn’t been any before. Could they be starting to molt?
 
You may want to start feeding them some Black Oil Sunflower Seeds (BOSS) as a daily treat to help them through the molt. The extra protien helps them grow the feathers a little faster..not to mention the LOVE those seeds!
Thank you, winter just seems like a bad time to drop all your feathers!
