I live in Oregon,and I hear that chickens slow down laying with the cold! Will mine haven't. Had anyone else heard this?

I live in Southern California. It doesn't get cold here, but my chickens slow down egg laying when they're molting in the fall.

A couple of my chickens keep escaping and laying eggs outside of their pens. I found these under my guava tree today. Dogs are getting a treat for dinner.

Have you done a float test to see how fresh they are? I find eggs outside their coop sometimes and they are good.
