IN the fall, chickens molt or shed feathers to make room for heavier feathers for winter. They stop laying usually (Ohio) from October until March.

Stew meat. ;) Old chickens don't actually have any special nomenclature. "Pullets" are young, immature female chickens and "hens" are mature, female chickens. However, most hens will continue laying until the year they die, just not nearly in the quantity that they did when they were 1 year old.
