Chickens Comb

[Engine823]

I just noticed sara's comb is a little blue on the tips. She seems fine and normal.
It may have been that way for awhile and I never paid attention.
What do you all think?
No runny nose, airway looks clear. She acts normal as can be
Just curious, thanks for the replies in advance

Not sure. My Margo, who is a Brown Leghorn and has a large comb, gets slightly bluish in the tips once in awhile, too. As far as I can tell, she’s never had any health issues. She’s on the lean side, but so is her breed, and she aeems strong as can be. I personally wouldn’t be overly concerned, but maybe someone elsewill have better advice.

Bumping this back up so I can get a few more opinions please

It can normal in large combed chickens for the comb to become bluish on the tips or the back of the comb. It should brighten at other times, or there could be a heart problem or circulation problem, such as in cold weather.

Mosquitoes?

Its not cold here for sure. I will be checking her again in the morning. Hopefully if will have improved.

What would mosquitoes do? I have not seen many lately since its fall but I'm sure there are some around

Yes, chickens with large combs do have color changes on the tips of their spikes when it gets nippy outside.

She is just a precious hen!

Cause irritation but you would be having a mosquito problem and you would know

Mosquitoes can cause fowl pox, but I don't see anything in the picture that looks like pox.
