When chicken molt (losing their feathers and growing new ones), they require more protein in their diet than usual. In fact, your hens may stop laying eggs during this period of time because hens often do not have enough of this vitamin to both lay eggs, and go through the molting process. However, there is good news! You can help them out! By preparing high protein snacks for them, and possibly switching to meat bird feed for a few week (this is a higher protein feed to help grow meat birds, but you may want to read more into this subject before trying it out for your flock), you can help your chickens along during their molting process and possibly replenish your stock of eggs!!
