Aw! I have some hens who have slowed down, but none have stopped completely laying so I suppose they wouldn't be called free loaders yet. Although they will take long breaks from laying.I have a bunch of freeloading lawn ornaments, they are old 5 & 6 yrs old that don’t lay anymore, and a bunch or them moultiing, feathers everywhere! My one poor dear is so bad they are falling off her as she walks!!!!! Fluffy butt feathers and wing feathers everywhere! But I am glad when they moult it gives them a break from laying.
I hope yours get through their molt well!
