Molting is triggered by length of daylight,
More interesting data to share: (please don't laugh, first time chook parents, we are data nerds, keep track of every egg, time, size everyday) Please see the attached graph
Each spice girl's (our chooks) three day moving average egg size line stopped coincide with when they started to molt!!!! we thought the egg laying was strictly related to day lights, but they are all different. The only two lines that are continuing are the two that have not molted, are still laying (but slow down to one every other day)
