Could one molting chickens lead to others?

[tpeila]

I have 5 hens, about 7 months old, only one has started laying and now she is molting. Do you tihnk the rest will follow?

Well they have mini molts but they shouldn't go into a full molt until they are a year or 18 months old- usually in the fall from what I have read.

I would think you will have some eggs soon?

The White LEghorn layed for almost two weeks straight. Then stopped two weekends ago
