I can safely say my hens are molting?

I'm finding a blanket of feathers in the morning on the coops floor. They are not pecking each other, they'd fall off the roost and its 100% pitch black.

My only layers right now are 1 that's not molting and 2 of the 3 I bought in early March as chicks.

I'm hoping this molting process passes quickly. I'm terribly missing my fresh eggs. We've had to buy from the store a few times.:(
 
Their feathers are everywhere! They are falling off just by walking and especially when they clean themselves. I hope it's not too long of a process.lol. I need my eggs badly! They started 1-2 weeks ago.
