My hen is just now laying in july. Is that normal? Do they only lay in April?

Chickens pretty much lay all year round, with a slow down and sometimes a cessation, in the winter months, during molt and if they start sitting a clutch of eggs or are raising young chicks.

They will start laying around 20-24 weeks.

Recently we lost a broody leghorn that set up a large hidden nest outside. Now we are concerned for our broody speckle that has a nest outside the coop close to the leghorns old nest, but its a more protected spot. We still worry about bobcats and coyote. We want to move her into the coop, but worry she'll abandon the nest. What should we do? Move or not? If so, what is best way? The nest has many eggs we are not sure how many days gestation.
