Yes. Hens will lay all year. Production may drop as the hours of natural light reduce however if you keep the lights in the chicken coop on for the required 14hrs per day your hens will continue to lay eggs with the same regularity as during the summer. My free range hens go out even in the snow, when the natural light only lasts for 9 hours I set a timer to keep the coop well lit for the extra 5hrs needed. Yes. Hens will lay all year.
