I have a question about my 6 mo old Barnavelder. This morning I noticed that her legs and feet seem to have a redness to them that I’ve never noticed before (am I clueless? Has it always been this way?) and her comb has the ever-so-slightest dark purple edges to a few tips. It hasn’t been cold enough here for frostbite - I live in SoCal where it’s been around 40-45 degrees at night for the past week or two.
Could there be an illness I should be looking for? Thanks in advance

So I originally posted this thread on 12/16/22 and here I am attempting to get further answers. Maybe the answers will be the same. Yesterday I went out and noticed my girl’s wattles have more dark spots than before so I’m asking a second time if those more experienced than me can continue to verify that this isn’t a disease coming on. If it’s bullying I need to figure out who is doing it. More pucks of her comb for reference.

The comb just looks like it was injured with pecking or rubbing into fencing, but nothing to worry about. Is she acting sick in any ways. Is she eating, drinking, and active?
 
Yes she’s active, the most skittish of the ladies, hard to catch. I honestly don’t see her eating but that’s probably only because when I let them out in the morning and then go inside to get ready for work. I know she’s not lowest in the pecking order either, based on her roosting location. I appreciate the feedback.
