OEB hen stopped laying

[2manyhats]

Hi all, do some breeds of chickens stop laying completely with the cool weather or is it a sign of age? I bought a pair of OEB chickens and she was laying every other day like clockwork. Since the cooler weather has come, no eggs at all. Any thoughts?

It could be a combination of factors. (not knowing how old she is can't help us there)

Most likely it is the cooler weather.

Do you keep a light on in the coop?

Yes, she is barn kept with a light on 12 hours or so hours a day (sometimes more if someone forgets to turn it off).
