Does a very dark red comb in a 7 year old BO hen mean health problem? Her comb has been bright red like the younger girls until this spring, now dark. Sometimes get to be a brighter red. Anyone know what this could mean? I'm afraid she's starting to go down slow. :(

How did your hen make out? My 3 year old RIR's comb turned a dark red to almost purple color. Didn't know what to make of it. I was treating her for possible heart condition but she had other issues as well and didn't pull through. Just wondering how you made out.
 
She died about a week later, sadly. Must have been circulatory/heart problem. :(
