    Purple Comb, Help!

    Hello, I have a hen that is about 2yrs old. Today I noticed she had a purple spot at the end of her comb. I believe that when the comb and wattles are fully purple, that the chicken is pretty dead. So, does this mean she is going to die? Her wattles are a normal reddish pink. She is also...
