That was going to be my next question because I know from my experience with having chickens for about4- 5yrs is mine seemed to molt late Aug/Sept (which I always thought was early) and they stopped laying cold.

Wasn't sure how that would translate to Wyoming but looks to be on par and that will def do it. Molt lasted a while and rolled close to winter and less sunlight so the egg production grinded to a halt.

I miss the eggs for sure and can't bring myself to get rid of the coop & run I built, lord knows I could use the space for firewood but part of me thinks we'll have them again!

Troubleshooting sickness and illness makes me hesitant that was frustrating and a lot of work for me, but at the time I was starting a new position so I think all of it combined was stressing me out. I hate not knowing what's wrong and what to do, typical guy just wanting to solve the problem....

Thanks, I'm the same with troubleshooting, but except for the first summer (mites) they've been fine and it was me being a worry wart. That and the dog attack.
