Barred Rock Comb

[mckaylaburgess]

I have some barred rock chickens that are about 16 weeks. Their combs look paler than what I’d expect, but they’re not acting sick or injured. I’ve attached pictures, they have plenty of shade and access to water. Is this normal?

Their comb color and size is completely normal for their age, you'll notice an increase in size and redness prior to the first egg.

Agree with the above. You have some nice looking pullets!

Thank you! I just wanted to make sure because some of my other pullets have combs that are a little more red, but they’re different types.

We have a gold laced Wyandottes that is 4,5,6 weeks younger and looks like she is going to lay any day now...her oldest flock mate is a barred rock that EXACTLY like yours. Let me know when yours lays lol
