For the first time in 4 years

I have to buy eggs.  My chickens have not laid one egg in 3 weeks now.  I know most are molting as the chicken house is loaded with feathers I have to get out.  Usually when they molt a few still lay but not this time.  I do have a few older hens but we've done pretty good at keeping new hens coming along so I don't know what is the problem.  We've had White Rocks all this time.  

I just ordered some Dominiques.  I am going to try them and phase out the White Rocks.  I was really leaning towards Rhode Island Reds but after I read that the roosters can be aggressive I decided on the Dominiques.  Nothing makes me madder than to have a rooster spur the backs of my legs.  

A long time ago we raised chickens when the kids were young. We got a free "exotic" chicken with a shipment of day old chicks.  It turned out to be an Egyptian rooster.  That was the meanest chicken I have ever dealt with.  He wouldn't stay in a pen no matter how much you trimmed a wing.  We always had to be on the lookout for that mean rooster.  It never failed if I had my back turned he was going to get me or my younger son.  We seemed to be the only two he lived to spur. I came in from work one day and saw him lying dead in the horse pen. Our mare Goldie had stomped him to death.  I guess he spurred the wrong animal that day.  That was one time I was not sorry to lose a barnyard animal!
