Her comb is red because she is almost ready to lay eggs. You have maybe another 1 to 3 weeks before she starts laying.

You're welcome, and I'm sorry. I hate to be the messenger of bad news. (

Your bird is a Rhode Island Red pullet. She's getting a large red comb because she'll be starting to lay soon.
