Egg Song - No Eggs

I believe one may have molted. But not sure the other one did. They are all the exact same age.

The rooster is usually inside the coop when singing what I had heard was the egg song. They do not free range because my yard is not fenced. So they are always in a 9x12 run with a small tractor coop inside the run for now. My boys are going to build a bigger coop for me so they’ll have a little more room. I keep thinking since the hens have been squawking I’ve been expecting them to start laying again. They just started being somewhat consistent. Then boom cold snap. Now we are back out of it. But 2 eggs total this week so far. Ugh!😩
 
I don't know where you live or what breed your birds are but if you are in the northern hemisphere and at least one of your birds had molted, it tells me they hatched very early in 2025 so I would surmise the dearth of eggs is related to day length vis a vis dark period much more than any effect of cold. Once most breeds of hens are in production, temperature and weather have little or no effect om ovulation. light/dark period is the greater impact on production.
