My chicken Chocolate Chicken, her comb and wattle went from bright red to pale pink/white in the matter of 2 months. What is happening? What do I do?

That is something to be concerned about - there are several things that can cause the change you noted, some more concerning than others. Can you tell us a bit more about your bird so that we can help you sort out which of the causes is involved in your situation? It would also be helpful if you would take and post a photo or two of your bird.
