My Barred Rock hen has gone broody and is setting on a few eggs. But today I noticed her comb is real light, is she sick and what can I do for her?

perfectly normal for her to look sick by the end of broodiness they look terrible but dont worry as long as she is eating and drinking and pooping then she is fine. make sure she doesnt have external parasites such as lice other than that she should be fine
