Cute or indicative of illness?

[Sutherlandfarms]

i have a hen who lays her head on my lap or across my other arm when I’m petting her. Her comb gets really pale when she does this. She always pops up when I call her name and when she goes back running around her comb gets its color back. Is this a sign of illness?

Nope, just a sign that she is relaxed and trusts you.

Heart rate, and and thus circulation, slows when they are relaxed.
How old is she?

Aww I had a Orpington hen who would do this. Her name was Lil Orp, and she was born in 2014, thus my username. What breed is yours?
