My chickens, as well, don't lay eggs like they used to -- chances are, they are old, or possibly, your chickens are sick. However, the more likely probability is their age. Most chickens stop laying eggs after a few years; or they will lay very few.

Is the cold weather a factor in my hens not laying?

Yes, cold weather can reduce egg production in hens. As temperatures drop, hens may decrease their egg-laying or even stop altogether to conserve energy for thermoregulation. Providing supplemental light and ensuring the coop is well-insulated can help mitigate the impact of cold weather on egg production.

Do bluebell hens stop laying during the winter months?

All chickens lay according to the amount of available light. Winter months offer less daylight than any time of year and unless artificial light is provided then yes, the hens will slow or cease egg production for the winter. Cold weather does not effect egg production if proper lighting is available.
