Do the eggs stop before or during the moult?

I think my girls are fixing to go into a full blown moult. Egg production has gone from normal to nothing in two days time.
Do they start to moult first and then stop laying or stop laying and then go into the moult?
I'm asking because nobody looks like they are moulting yet, but everybody looks like they could sure use one.

If the feather is completely gone, shaft and all, it will grow back immediately. If it's just broken off, but the shaft is intact, it will grow back at moult time. Lest, that's the way it was explained to me.
