winter time for layers

[cackleberryhead]

Last year my hens stopped laying, all 150, from Oct through April. I thought it was because of several stress factors, molt, lice, and cold....We are in SE North Carolina and it isn't really cold here usually.

But I have several ppl tell me that hens stop laying if they are allowed to walk on the frost.
Anyone know this to be true??

thanks.
