molting

[tequillared]

Has anyone ever heard of sympathy molting? I have a grey Araucana that molted and did not lay for a long time last winter. When the other Araucana (gold) started laying again after a short molt, the grey one started laying also. Now my Delaware is molting and the grey Araucana has stopped laying again. She appears to have lost some feathers but not a lot. Is this normal? Is there anything I can do or just wait it out?

Thank you.
