Is it cause it's winter?

about what stagger ages they are not all in molt at once?

Different situations

 

[chickens really]

Breeds, nutrition, space, so many factors on happy flocks.Way too many variables

You would need to describe your flock in a nut shell ...

It's so much about the age, if you mean weeks or months, it's about the day length.
I always have a batch of first year pullets to get thru the winter, but I use lights too.

I'm fairing pretty well on eggs now,not spectacular but definitely better than it was going the dynamics are still confusing. Out of the three girls that started molt in September two are back laying with decent regularity even though one is technically still molting. The youngest and first molter is still a dry well. This year's pullets are also laying weirdly the dom is going strong but those faverolles are killing me! The one went broody for two days in October and hasn't laid since and I've got the one who's never laid so they're basically yard decorations.

Do not push them to lay through the winter if you want to hatch eggs by them in the spring .otherwise they will be tired by the time you want hatching eggs.
