No. Actually it is the opposite. Chickens stop or at least slow egg laying when they go into a moult. Moulting is a renewal of feathers and the chicken puts much of its nutrition and energies into making new feathers during this time. Moulting takes place usually months after the hens start to first lay eggs. She will reduce her egg laying for the time she is moulting.
