Hello, while checking my chickens I noticed that one of my pullets vent has orange skin. She's the only one I have seen with this color skin, her face is a normal red. She's an easter egger (sold as amerucana at TSC), if that explains anything. Her EE sister and all the other hens have the normal pink white color skin around the vent. Is this just her skin color or is there something I should be concerned about?

Here's a picture of her a few weeks ago

I don't see anything really concerning. Maybe droppings are a bit runny and that's making it look that color (the bit sticking). It looks pretty normal to me.
Thank you, I don't think the picture shows it well but it probably isn't anything concerning. Her vent skin is just noticeably oranger than any other chicken I have. The only reason I'm concerned is because I've have bad luck with this bunch, lost 2 out of 4 at different times unexpectedly, so I worry about them.
 
I have a 5 month old pullet; barred rock, with the same pigmentation. What did it end up being?
