Lots of snow this year but we're already getting eggs

Despite a cold winter, they started laying eggs mid-January -- all 5 hens are in production. I am really happy with the colors we're getting from our "Easter Eggers". Each bird is laying 3-5 eggs per week.
This is our current flock. It is looking pretty rough out in the chicken run, but they seem to be doing ok this winter.
There is a heater under the waterer to keep it from freezing.
