pale comb and wattle

[erin0415]

My white leghorn went broody, set for 20 days, went into a molt, and now her feathers are coming in nicely, but I noticed her comb and wattles look much paler than they did before. They are a pale pink. Is this from some kind of nutritional deficiency??? She eats a layer feed with lots of fresh veggies and table scraps.

Mine are like that too right after a molt. It has taken months and their combs and wattles are finally starting to turn reddish again. I think it's normal for this time of year.

It is perfectly normal for her comb to turn pale during moult season and this time of year. As she starts coming back into lay, you will see it brighten up again.
