Cold weather does effect a hens laying. when the temperature is below 55 degrees or so this can effect a hens production. Mainly though the reduction in hours of daylight causes hens to stop laying. Anything below 14 hours of daylight will cause a hen to stop laying.
No you dont
No, not all hens cackle while laying.
Because it is a constant torment to the hen. She cannot move, act on her instincts, or take proper care of herself. It is torture.

Layers or Hens.

They shouldn't effect the process of laying eggs. It's always up to the hens attitude for that day.
The hen who is laying will have an inflamed comb. When they stop laying or aren't laying yet, their combs become a pinkish-pale color.
because its a chubnub.
Some farms have 1.5 to 2 million laying hens, producing about 400 million eggs a year. The number of farms with 1 million or more hens, or layers, has increased in the 1990s.
All chickens lay according to the amount of available light. Winter months offer less daylight than any time of year and unless artificial light is provided then yes, the hens will slow or cease egg production for the winter. Cold weather does not effect egg production if proper lighting is available.
