Turkey hen not laying?

[MamaHutch06]

I am wondering if anybody can tell me if this is normal. We got a hen last mar (2011). She started laying in October and continued to lay throughout the winter (we live in mass). She stopped laying in Mar. she seemed to have lost alot of feathers and replaced them, She got alot more aggressive and has yet to lay an egg. Is this normal. If so how long does it usually last? I was told molting takes a month or 2. It has been 4 months? Any Idea's?

turkeys are seasonal layers.. mine start in the late fall.. lay all winter through spring.. then taper off through the summer until they just stop laying completely until the fall

Yep, they are seasonal layers.
