Desperate about my hens!

[jennyg]

My 10 month old white leghorns stopped laying!
I adopted them 10 weeks ago and for 5-6 weeks they layed an egg daily (8days 1 day rest)
They free range 5+ hrs daily, red combs, healthy, happy, not broody
My other 5 hens lay perfectly and super thick shell.
We live in Hawaii weather isn't too hot, upper 70 night and lower 70 at night.
Feed organic, oyster shells, free range and scraps

How long has it been since she last laid a egg?

 

[jennyg]

Sorry 4 weeks for both hens they stopped within 1 day of each other

They may be coming into molt.

Didn't think of thay

How long does that take?

How long does that take?

Depends on the hen. Mine will generally go out for 3-4 weeks and then if I'm really unlucky commence laying for 2-3 weeks and then become broody.

They aren't bald but I have been seeing more white feathers

They don't usually go bald when they are molting.....maybe a few barely feathered patches.
