Moulting behaviour

[Mimi13]

Example for you!: One of my molters actually likes light pressure on her body at night so tonight she's sleeping in a pair of my granny panties. She isn't wearing them correctly her head is in a leg hole but she's in there, trilling happy as a lark.

I definitely think we need a picture. For some reason I’m having a difficult time trying to picture this. And, how is it that you actually found out she likes wearing granny panties? Curious minds want to know.

My girls are done with molting, feathers are almost filled out again, acting normal, eating normal, light on early in the morning in the henhouse, and weather has not been exceptionally cold yet. But they have stopped laying!! They are between 19 and 21 months old. I have 33 girls and we are only getting 2-3 eggs one day, none (zero) the next. Before the molting began, we were getting 2 dozen a day. I have 10 different breeds including Buffs, austrolorps, wyandottes, a Silky, RIR, and novogens. Help!!

Another vote for a picture please.

I'll have to go out a steal next door neighbour's washing off the line now lol, I don't have any granny panties.
