Anemic looking hen???

[chuckzoo]

I have tried to get the best picture I could to show what I mean. She has sort of a bluish tinge to her face, molting not eating much.
Age 11 months. The one on the left (Daisy) is still laying and hasn't molted yet. Sally (Right) has been molting for about two months?

Do their combs and wattles shrink when they are not laying?

What do you guys think?

I'm definitely not an expert but I work in health care, and have had a few bouts w/ unhealthy hens. I would be thinking worms (zapping the nutrition and strength). If it were me I would take some poop to your vet and get it checked so you can find out if it is, and then what type. If she has em, they most likely all do even though others may not look sickly. I just went through that with mine where one was very stressed, thin, and had a prolapsed vent but others seemed OK, except laying had gone way down. Hope that helps.

Their combs can definitely shrink/turn pale when molting. It might not hurt to consider worming them and look them over for lice/mites.
