What breed do you have that is still laying in this cold weather?

We had temps last week of 6 degrees
The BO, EE, Dominiques are all laying , except I always get less eggs on the weekend.
The Barred cochin is not laying yet and she is 34 weeks old.
They have free will to go outside. They are usually in by 5 on the roost.
No additional heat or light, waterer is heated right now.
 
In the 20s at night but warmer now, I still have my Orloff, BA, Barnie, Delaware and Spec Sussex laying close to daily.

Here in the Pacific Northwest during the darkest, rainest part of our year - my 8 Wyandottes are averaging three eggs a day. Not as much as this summer, but I'm happy with their output. We are adding a few hours of light early each morning by tacking one string of tube lights across the top of their coop.

I'm glad all your chooks are laying, cos mine sure aren't. I have over 50 layers, and not an egg to be found! I went out two days ago and hooked up a light on a timer, hope this works. Know how emabarassing it is to BUY eggs when the whole town considers you the "chicken lady".
