Evidently something in the last few weeks with the snow, cold, wind, rain and darkness was enough to cause Layla to start molting. Hopefully she gets it over with soon and will start laying eggs again. None of he hens has laid an egg in nearly a month now.

Because of the economy I believe that the ELCA is on strike and their union leader normally spends the winter months in the south. The ELCA or “Egg Laying Chickens of America” is a group that has been around for years and highly respected.
