I have a 22 week old leghorn that has not started laying yet. I noticed today the very tips of her comb are purple in color. It is very hot here in west central Georgia so I’m hoping that is why. She is acting completely normal, eating and drinking fine. No issues with being egg bound as she hasn’t laid yet. I have also added electrolytes and vitamins to their water and treated her with vetRX as a precaution in case its respiratory. Anything else I should look for or try?

You could check and make sure there are no mites or lice. Since she's acting normally, eating, drinking etc and it has been hot I would just monitor and make sure she has plenty of cool fresh water and ways to keep cool.
