My Red Star pullet is one of the small percentages of them who stay white! Her face is very dirty and she has a little but of red neat her eyes! Just a lot of dirt on her face! Is this normal? Her comb has a little sorta dy scab piece on it as well? Idk it's little but just sorta dry and dark! Is that normal? Ahh! Sorry just worried! Thanks!

I am having difficulty understanding what it is you are trying to ask.  Some pics would be helpful.  A white red star is not a pullet but a cockerel.  A cockerel also gets red in the face at a much younger age.  Scabs on the comb are not uncommon in a group of birds.  They peck at each other for a variety of transgressions- real or perceived.
