Egg laying

[independentone2001]

One of my hen molted in the fall and stopped laying. All of them did not lay any eggs during the winter, they started to lay again several weeks ago except for the one that molted in the fall. Will she ever lay again? Just wondering

Probably will at some point. How old is she?

1 and a half year old. Last summer she laid egg daily

One of mine had a very hard molt her first time. She looked dreadful. It took quite a while for her to completely bounce back. Once she did, though, she was really back.

Does your hen have red comb and wattles?
Is she completely done with her molt?
She may just need a little longer.

Hi and thank you for your reply. Would you believe that today, my little polish girl started to lay again!!??!! Took a long time, she molted in the fall, but I'm glad she started again. Thank you again.
