what colour is she?
I have a whitish hen with a pale comb. looks she is just too blond, lol. btw, 17 wk old is not fully grown, she might need more time. I have some pullets which took more time to mature.
She's a red head, but not a deep red. More of a cross between red and buff.
I have one hen that is more than year and a half old and haven't seen her comb go even pink. It' very, very small and pale. She is also laying and I wpuldn't even say that she is lart of a flock. She never pick anybody and anybody isn't picking her.
If yours is still a chick and the smallest in the bunch, maybe you should be concerned but I don't want to be the last judge
I'm watching her. She's always been very sweet and seems hardy and active , but small and pale. Her mother was the smallest in the parent flock, but has become one of my best layers. I'm hoping there's nothing to worry about, but as I said....I'm watching her.
