my White Leghorn lays brown eggs - and her comb is pink???

Stress, heat, age, nutrition, environment, place in the pecking order, leaving production for the moment, preparing for molting...

Could be any number of things. As long as she is healthy, I would not worry about it.

I agree because, a recent study showed that roos prefer to mate with birds with large red combs because they produce more eggs and eventually more chicks.
 
I also have a Plymouth Rock that laid 4 very light brown eggs in November. My other 3 hens are regularly laying, but she is not. She also has a pale pink comb that has not gotten any bigger. She is eating, foraging when I let them out and is pooping and drinking water. Should I be concerned. She is not molting either. She is approx. 9 months old.
Any suggestions or observations based on this information
