Chicken breed/egg color has a lot to do with it. If they are white leghorns or some Mediterranean breed with a long comb egg production will plummet when it gets cold. That's why we run Rhode Island Reds and Buff Orphingtons for the most part. Got a couple leghorns and we see very few white eggs this time of year. Going to go to all brown egg layers in the future.
