Judging by the picture, your birds are in apparent good shape. Young birds generally lay through their first winter, but shortening day light period seems to be impacting yours.

Yes. Cold and short days make many hens stop laying. Maybe your hens are less extreme egg laying machines as many laying hybrids for the industry are in general.
Hens that have a break during moult or winter stay healthier and live longer. So there is a plus to it too.

But do check the poop and their skin for parasites if you’re not sure they have no health problem.

I give my hens chick or grower feed in winter.
