Is this normal for winter?

My bantam hen Iris, (OEGB) recently (about 2 weeks ago) went through a pretty heavy molt. Her comb got smaller (which I know is normal, as chickens get weird during molts) But it does not seem like it has grown too much. Is this normal for post-molt and winter? Thanks! Also, her and the other OEGB have had slightly paler combs. Is that also normal?

It won't get bigger and red until she's laying again. :]

Do you have photos?

Generally speaking, yes. It's normal for combs to be paler and shrink during molt or when a hen is not in lay.
Once they are back in lay, then the combs will usually plump back up and color will return.

Okay, thank you.
