Yes, but not as many as when it's warm. unless you have a heat lamp. we have 16 chickens and in the winter time we get a lot less. Also if they get older, they don't lay as many. And you have to take them out real fast or they freeze

∙ 10y agochickens do lay eggs yearround
Most do, yes. Although laying will usually slow down during colder months, or even when it's too hot. Also, during the molting season in fall, laying will usually slow or stop.

∙ 13y agoHens will lay all year long but their ovulation is regulated by the number of hours of light they receive per day. Since seasonal temperatures are tied to daylight hours, nature has provided the chicken with an "off Switch" so to speak. If a hen fails to receive at least 14 hours of light per day, she will not produce as many eggs and will slow production or even stop production the less light she gets. Humans are able to defeat that switch by providing artificial light sources.
