Get a new toothbrush. Your old one is loaded with germs and you're sticking it in your mouth.

First off PLEASE keep in mind this is just my opinion and from my experience. I am no expert. My egg production has been a little low and recently dropped way off. Right now I have 26 LF all less than 3 yrs. We are currently getting 4-10 eggs a day. Seems Most of my birds have gone into moult at once. Also I have talked to others and they have same going on.

I am NO expert either

BUT my egg production is actually UP

Out of 20 LF I have been getting 9 to 13 eggs a day

one day I got 14

But then I have several AMAZING WHITE egg layers

they are machines

.
CR just won't listen to the OLD guy up North

Check out the "Worst Chicken Molt Picture Contest" currently going on here - I was thinking the same with my Light Sussex until I noticed the contest! I thought she looked awful until I saw some of those entries, now I think Luna looks quite attractive.

She did get caught far from the coop during a squal yesterday, and when she was all wet, she looked much worse, more and bigger bald patches than I suspected. Ewwww - but the pin feathers are coming in quickly - she feels like a porcupine!

Just noticed this...I think I will have to send in a photo. This poor girl is almost totally naked. Thank you for the heads up (literally).

There is a ugly molt thread on BYC. There are a couple of hens that look like they've been plucked. One owner put a tiny doggy coat on hers. https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=580968&p=5 scroll down to post 47
