    I live out in the country in  the NE. I find if I leave a light on in the winter months they will continue to lay.

      You don't have to have a light on at night unless they are chicks and need a heat lamp. However when the seasons begin to change it is better for you to have artificial light to simulate the sun so they continue to lay eggs.

        Do your homework on your chicken breeds, mine laid all winter long. Chickens need their rest too. By keeping a light on them that stimulates them to keep laying. Give them a good laying mash, and find the ones that the cold doesn't affect, and you should get eggs all winter long.
