I'm looking in The Chicken Health Handbook from Gail Damerow, and it says:
a pale comb, skin & shanks could be a sign of intestinal coccidiosis, which is a common poultry ailment
a pale head indicates worms/lice/mites, which are very common
a pale, shriveled, sometimes bluish comb could be lymphoid leukosis, which is common
a pale or bluish comb & wattles could be tuberculosis, which is common
They have a few others but they are uncommon or rare diseases.
It does not necessarily mean your hen has a disease, though. She might just be lacking in something nutritional or is having egg problems or something to that effect.
I'd keep her isolated, warm and pampered for a little while while you observe her. She might just want some extra attention.
Please keep us informed on how she is progressing.
