For many breeds the hen will lay her first egg at around the age range of 18-24 weeks depending on breed. Breeders work hard at reducing that range and earlier layers are much sought after. There are some breeds that do not lay their first egg until about 8 months like Araucana.

No not really, the molt time for a hen will in fact slow egg production during the time it happens as the hen will need all its nutrients to produce new feathers. Egg production will pick back up at the end of the molting period when the hen can afford to put more of its nutrients back into eggs. Hens can actually molt just after they are one year old and they still have many months of egg productive life left in them.
