Yes, free-range chickens ( not caged in enormous chicken "factories" ) will instinctively run out into and onto frozen snow, at first light ( first thing in the morning ), ferociously pecking away at the snow in order to eat the " frozen water " which they need to hydrate their bodies.
Absolutely YES

The hens love the snow. Clean white snow in the farmyard is a great place to sprinkle seed treats for the free range hens, it is easy to spot and gets them rooting around in the snow looking for more. They also eat snow to get moisture when the water supply gets a crust of ice on it.

Chickens can go out in the snow, but it's important to make sure they have shelter from the cold and access to unfrozen water. Providing straw or hay for them to walk on can help keep their feet warm, and adding extra light in their coop can also provide warmth during snowy weather.

It is not the cold that effect the hens laying it is the available light. All chickens respond to the reduced light available in the fall and winter. If you wish to continue egg production during the winter months simply provide artificial lighting in the chicken coop corresponding to a daily total of 14 hours (natural & artificial) every day.
