Hey y’all, my hand keeps losing color in her face and getting pale other than that she’s completely normal. Is this normal? She is our dominant hen almost five months old now.
A chicken's face fades and brightens with temperature, mood, age, also can by a sign of parasites.
She's a pullet still, she won't be a hen until she's a year old.
I've had a few pullets over the years that would pale and brighten in the face and comb throughout the day. Nothing was wrong with them, I believe it's fluctuating hormones. Once they turned a year old, the changing from pale to bright stopped and they stayed a bright red.
