What is the temp outside? I have noticed that depending on whether or not they are molting and/or living in a cold temperature area the combs will be paler. Could also be a result of not eating enough. I am not an expert at deceases but i plan on going to college to be a veterinarian in about 3-5 years specifically for poultry (I'm 13 and the one who takes care of chickens here.)

Is he one of the ones that has been sick? Pale combs can be due to not getting enough oxygen, molting, mite infestation and anemia, but since you have been dealing with this chronic illness, he may be getting sick. Chickens with respiratory diseases may get chilled easily, so you can crate them and bring them inside for extra warmth. I am not sure that I could deal with a flock suffering from coryza. They may require care and antibiotics from now on. I would be tempted to separate sick birds or cull them. That is the reason I would try to get testing, just to confirm the disease.

Called my vet yesterday and told him what was happening. They said it was a bacterial thing and the gave me an anabiotic that is called tetracycline To put in their water for 14 days. Guess we’ll see how it goes thanks.
