They lay on a 27 hour and temps have less to do with it than the amount of light they getting. Light is what triggers egg production. If you can run a light to the hen house and make sure they getting 14-15 of light a day, production levels will remain high until they go into a dormant egg cycle. After that they will start popping them out again.
I have 4 hens and I get 3-4 eggs day. For the past month they been slacking off I guess they between cycles, however, here in the past few days they have really started popping them out. I didn't collect Saturday and yesterday afternoon I picked up 7.
