I have bantam brahmas & cochins and they slowed down for a molt in the fall and started back up again. Laying all winter

It's been cold as heck here too.

If they have plenty of water and light you should be fine with any of the breeds you listed.

My bantam cochins must not realize it is winter, because they have layed...even when it has gotten to be in the negative teens.

 

[coop's chicks]

All of my chickens have been laying all winter with light. My bantam leghorn lays an egg almost every day. I also have barred rocks, a white rock bantam, black and red sexlinks, a columbian rock and a japanese hen and they have all been laying all winter and we have had some cold weather here in Ontario! They're certainly paying their rent.

Most chickens are winter layers in AZ...

My best layers are my sex links, barred rock, EEs, Ameraucanas and Leghorns.

My large fowl white leghorns laid all winter so far without fail, cold, rain, sleet snow, dark days, light days, shavings in box, hay in box, locked in coop, let out of coop. Pretty sure they would lay through the apocalypse.
