I doubt there is a problem.
When days shorten, egg laying diminishes or stops altogether.
When egg laying ceases seasonally, the comb and wattles pale.
We're 10 days from winter solstice. As days lengthen, the pineal gland will sense it lowering the release of melatonin and re-energizing the gonads.
Voila - bright red comb followed by eggs.
