Light pink comb on 19 week old hen

[TaconChicks]

One of my girl's comb has gone from red to light pink this week.

Upon further examination this morning, two of the other girls (also 19 weeks old) have a very small black spot on their comb.

The girls all free range on my 1/2 acre. They are still on the chick starter since they are not laying yet. (It's Purina food; bag says it is medicated.)

Should I be concerned about the comb changes?

Comb colors change for several reasons, all in the same day sometimes. And the black spot is probably a blood spot from being pecked or scratched. I wouldn't be too concerned right now.

I wouldn't be too worried just yet either about the color changing......some black spots happen when they get pecked or from going through brush or thickets even...a scrape from a fence...a number of things...
