How soon after molting will a chicken start laying eggs?

Answer 1

chickens moting is normal. It happens every so often, usually in the summer. A chicken will molt when their feathers fall out, and sometimes you will have a bald chicken running around. Dont worry if you see feathers all over the ground....its completely natural.

Answer 2

when they feel like becoming a mum they will lay a egg and sit on it in hope it is fertile. they will repeat the cycle if the egg dose not hatch. some breeds like isa brownd do not go cluckey, witch is the proper name for nesting. some only go cluckey 1 every 2 years.

when they go cluckey is totaly random. our bantams go cluckey 1 a month. it is incredibly annoying as most chickens get grumpy when nesting. they will ofthe attack you if you come near their nest and they do not lay. they will hapily sit on another hens egg or some times even nothing. to end the cycle move the hen into a small cage for one night and one day ond they will have forgoten about becoming a mum. this dose not stop the cluckey cycle next time. if it is very hot they can die from heat. they mist be removed from the nest as they can die of stress. do not put them in a small cage in the heat. in the cold the same problem occours. chickens may not eat or drink when cluckey and need to be removed from the nest ASAP
