Does molting cause a drop in egg production?

I worry about the constipation which is why I havent used that food. In my experience if you switch to any food too quickly regardless of the animal you will see a switch in their digestion. Switching food can cause upset tummies. A good example is going from a completely vegan diet and cheating a day. You will be sick all day. Your body is just not used to processing those proteins

Do you worry about constipation or diarrhea you've mentioned both. Again chickens are not humans.

Molting birds don't lay.
I recommend an 18-20% all flock type feed,
with oyster shell in separate container for the ones still laying.

Any and all digestive problems are cause for concern. The delicate balance could lead to a build up of oocytes in their system causing coccidoius. I dont like to bet on them.
