When a hens start laying their combs grow bigger or flop over and turn bright red it will probably stay that way unless you live in cold environment, if you live in a cold environment her comb will perk back up. Thats what happened to my rooster he was old and his comb was starting to flop over and then we got cold weather and he looked young again!
Thank you this helps :) it's been sorta hot the last few days here
 
Chickens use there combs to get rid of heat. If it has been hot where you are that could cause it to go more pale. They do get bigger when they start to lay and normally go bright red and waxy. If its gone pale though it is more likely because it's hot. Make sure they have access to plenty of water.
