I have tried to google this but can't seem to find an answer.
My daughter picked up one of out black sex links and sat down with her. Stormy (the chicken) sat on her lap without trying to escape and was not restrained in any way. As we were looking at her, her wattles started turning almost white, losing color fast enough we could see it happening. Her comb also got paler, but not white, just a pale pink. I didn't have my phone with me to get pictures. I will take it out next time and see if it happens again.
Was she stressed? She could have jumped out of my daughter's lap as she wasn't holding her down. She didn't act stressed. I have never seen it change color so quickly before. She eventually sauntered off to eat grass and her comb and wattles changed back to red again, just as quickly.
Is there something else I should be worried about, health wise? She is almost 6 months old and hasn't shown any odd behaviors, doesn't have mites or lice, and is eating and drinking and laying eggs.
