Pale comb and wattles, why???

[TAMMACLEAN]

My chicken has been inside for about a week. She had a big open wound on her backside that we are treating. It seems to be healing well, it's much smaller than it was. My question now is that this morning I checked in her and it seems that her comb and wattles are pale. She's also molting, I think, so no eggs. She's eating and drinking and tries to escape her box whenever she can. Any ideas?? I am also putting poly-vit-asol in her water.

Pale combs and wattles are common during a molt or injury. It is also often seen if they are not out in the sun for a while.

With everything going on with your girl, I'd say it's perfectly normal considering.

Thanks! For a minute I was worried.
