When will my chickens molt?

[WhiteMountainsRanch]

It's now the end of October, and I have ten 8 month old pullets, two 1 year old hens, and one 7 month old roo.


When should I expect them to start molting? We've never had one.

I wouldn't really expect any of them to go through a hard molt yet. The 1 y.o. hens may go through a mini molt, but you may not even notice that it's happening. Now this time next year is a different story. Next year I suspect your yard will look like a pillow fight happened.

Good luck.
