I have 25 chickens, with one rooster in the mix. They are all great laying breeds. Once the cold hit, they all stopped laying! A few of my older birds are molting, so that's understandable. But I also have some spring pullets who have no reason not to lay! Please help!
 
The might need more light....tho many of my pullets are not laying even with extra light-might be crowding stress, tho a couple hens are back at it.
 
You just have to wait for 14 hours of daylight to come back. By end of December will be at about 9.5 hours per day. After December 21 winter solstice the days will start lengthening with daylight again.
