I did a search but wasn't really finding my question:
All my ladies, and roos, seem to be molting.... they have lots of clean feathers, but there are a ton littered around their pens. Most of my hens aren't currently laying, and haven't for several weeks.... they also keep shoving all their bedding into their little shelter huts... they seem healthy etc.
The question: how long do they usually molt for? I'm not really stressing (yet) but I would like to get eggs again....
They're in indoor pens with artificial light on a timer, usually lay all winter, but they are just coming put of a breeding/laying period early this spring.
