Are my 6 yo hens sick?

I have a flock of 6 chickens, 3, 6 year olds (that I got 2ish years ago) and 3, 22 week olds. When I got my older ladies they had very vibrant red combs but ever since they finished molting there combs have been very pale. They are eating and drinking like normal and other than not getting eggs in about 4 months are acting normal. Are they healthy? Are they going to stop laying? Thank you! (By the way the black hen has passed away a few months ago I’m talking about the barred rock and Easter eggers.)

They are in good feather and apparently healthy. I'm guessing they are taking a break in their laying cycle and will resume laying in the spring at a reduced rate.
