Granny's gone and done it again

I read someone yesterday that said its the wrong time for chickens to be molting. Is anyones here molting ?
I think Swed is molting again. Or she’s pulling her own feathers. She just turned 1 year this month but she molted in the fall.

4 days on 10 polish & 2 silkie eggs. She's an EE. They say they won't go broody.
I had a 5 month old last year that went broody and hatched chicks. She was a EE.
Just a fat guess but the last 6 seramas I have should hatch right around swap time meaning I wont be able to take them. I like the seramas but they are only good for broodys. I need to lighten my load. Its not going to be easy because there are some I really like. Now, my jubs and polish seem to be just as useless. Jubs suck at laying , eat a ton and act like cornish X . Plus the prolapse didnt make me a fan of them. Yall know how dumb the polish are. They also have crooked toes so probably not good for breeding but I dont know the cause.
I think I need to do a complete clean out and with my health figure out how many egg layers will do my family . I probably have enough already with the SFH, super blue, I like the jub/polish cross, Barred rock and one Im not sure. Maybe black sex link. I could keep those in the serama coop and turn my big run into a garden maybe . Just a few tomato and cukes
you need to really think about it. You regret getting rid of all the others awhile back. I’d hate for you to be upset again over it. :hugs
 
Thanks Alley, I still do. Im just not sure what to do. Its just a thought rumbling around. Its so much work.
Is this a BSL ? Looks like mine

Brooding in general or keets in particular? I don’t mind brooding since it’s already running. I just have a huge mental block against incubating right now.
Funny, I hate brooding , the incubating you just set it and forget.
