Length of lay

[yogi]

My pullets started laying in mid-August at about 19 weeks. How long can I expect them to lay before they begin molting or stop for cold weather.I live in WV and use heat lamps but coop isn't really heated.

They do their first adult molt at around 18 months. Most breeds of pullets continue laying through the winter.

Thanks. That would be about this time next year.
