My chickens, as well, don't lay eggs like they used to -- chances are, they are old, or possibly, your chickens are sick. However, the more likely probability is their age. Most chickens stop laying eggs after a few years; or they will lay very few.

All chickens lay according to the amount of available light.

Cold weather does not effect egg production if proper lighting is available.
