If your birds are acting normal otherwise, they are probably fine. I've noticed that my birds seem to eat less in the cold. It doesn't really make sense (you'd think they'd eat more to keep warm), but it has happened to my birds.

Good luck with your flock!
 
Same thing happened to mine. It got cold for them and they stopped eating as much as they were. Since none of them were laying I switched to a higher protein crumble during the winter.
