Most any upset in a chicken's health will take a couple of weeks to recover egg laying. Where I live, all my chickens are in a molt or just coming out, and the days are getting shorter on daylight hours, both of which affects laying. I'm glad they are doing better.

If you turn on a light in your coop on a timer about 5 am, and off at 6 pm, you should still get eggs during the winter. Molt only lasts a month to 6 weeks, depending on the chicken, some may go longer. Make sure they have been wormed, and are getting layer feed with crushed oyster shell on the side, and you should get eggs.
