NO. It would be counter productive to supply an appetite suppressant to laying hens. The whole idea of feeding the hens laying mash is to have them produce better quality eggs not get them to eat less.
they are useful by laying heathy eggs for people to eat p.s. good question
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.
The hens will rejoice!! Hens like fruit of any kind. They will eat the skins of most fruit also but seldom citrus. The flesh of the fruit is fair game for them however and they get good nutrients from citrus. My hens eat oranges, grapefruit and even lemons.

No The laying mash or pellets are fine for the rooster. There really is no way to stop the rooster from eating the same things you feed the hens other than keeping them separated. My hens are fed laying crumble all year long and the roosters thrive on it.
They shouldn't effect the process of laying eggs. It's always up to the hens attitude for that day.
