Pale comb and face

[mypollitos]

Hello all BYC experts,
Here I am worrying again for my Loroca, she is pretty little frizzle. Loroca hatched babies about 6 weeks ago along with Fernanda, yes both decided to go at it as a team. All the chicks, 7 in total, are just fine and Fernanda too. However Loroca has had a very pale face during the past two weeks, I was hoping that it would go away by itself but no. Just to give yall some history, she went through a harsh molt prior to becoming broody and until now she is looking like her old self. She is sleeping well, eating and drinking like the rest and also her poops look normal.
I'm worried she could be sick and waiting could make things worse.

Very thank full for your comments.

This is Loroca last year, when she became part of the family.


This is Loroca today



I've read through other threads but none mention post broody as a factor.

Just for the heck of it check to see that her coop is not infested with mites. I don't think that is the problem, but it's worth a check. When hens go broody/molt/take a break from egg laying they undergo hormonal changes. As she gets ready to resume egg laying, her hormonal level will increase and her comb and wattles will enlarge and become bright red. I think it's just the normal post broody phase that she is going through.

Thank you Sourland,
I will check tonight and will report back any bugs seen or the lack of. Also I do hope she goes back to laying soon.
