My Buff Orps frequently go broody and I notice that their comb and wattles seem to become very pale when they are. Is this normal?
Mine do the same. I think it is normal. Maybe b/c their metabolism slows down or something. Don't know for sure!
I agree... My BO pullet just hatched 7 babies and her comb was very pale by hatch time. I think it is because of their fasting and low water intake during the broody.
just happened to me! she got off the nest a few days ago! and since she's been out free-ranging with the others, she looks much better. i think a full week of bugs/grass/layer pellets and more will bring it back to full color.
