Yes I meant 10w, not 100, haha. That'd be pretty impressive!

I've had layers go all the way through the winter. It's not the cold, but the light that decreases their laying. I gave my girls a two month break and was getting two eggs a day, and then added a light recently and got an egg from everyone after a week! You really don't need heat, I promise...
