Stopped laying all of a sudden

[Mtn Laurel]

It has now been a little over a week since her last egg. Good appetite, normal behavior. Although she is not scratching in the dirt of her coop like she usually did. Also, yesterday she had a handful of feathers on the ground. Does this sound like the start of a molting? Our temps here in South Georgia have been sporadic, at best lately.

My gal that quit laying lost only a handful of feathers. Never enough for me to obviously know they were missing or to see any bald spots on her, just enough so that I saw them under the roost in the morning. She's my only EE so I knew they were her feathers.

She quit laying for about a month but began laying again this week. Hang in there and hopefully she'll start laying for you again in a couple of weeks or so.

Just a quick update...one week ago today, she started laying again. We've had an egg/day since then. Thank you for your help. Her molt seemed quite mild, from the ones Ive seen on here at least. Feathers all over the place in the coop, but couldnt really notice any difference in her appearance.
