Hi there--
My almost 2 year old RIR just went through her 1st molt (2nd winter). She never stopped laying through her molt, just slowed to every other day. My other girls have started laying again, but 'Nugget' has completely stopped now.
She still visits the nest on and off, but no eggs. She doesn't seem to have one stuck, either. Other than no eggs, she seems perfectly healthy and happy.
I thought molting and no laying were supposed to happen at the same time? I thought she was weird when she kept giving eggs over the winter, now this? I'm baffled.
