molting

[small farm in texas]

how long after the molt will they start laying again? I told them today to hurry up or they are going in the pot.

Hi @small farm in texas Welcome To BYC

How old are your hens?
Each hen is a little different, when they come back into lay after molting...you'll have to wait them out. Some may not even be finished with molt (still growing some feathers in). Days are getting longer, so production should pick up. When they resume laying also depends on age and overall health too.
