Do animals age on their own?

A couple month ago (in-game) All my chickens & hens turned from brown & black to gray, and now the chickens seemingly refuse to brood (I guess they could be doing it behind my back? IDK). Is this just a cosmetic thing or have my chickens become too old to reproduce? I'm not sure if it's a climate thing, specially since they only turned *after* winter ended.

Okay I just fed them & they immediatly started brooding, so that's good news. Still wondering why they randomly changed color (and if there's a chance they die of old age before the new generation can be born).

The color change could be caused by the seasons, in winter they all get white and turn back to their natural color in summer. Also, animals can only die trough attacks from predators (fox/wolf/bear) or through not enough light. This means you will have to have some kind of light source to prevent them from despawning. It will show in the Block Info HUD if an animal will vanish because of that. Sunlight also prevents them from vanishing, so keeping them outside should be enough.
