Pale comb

[Stedman]

My year and a half Buff Orpington is molting but her comb and wattles are pale looking. Is that normal?

Generally combs shrink and lose color when a bird isn't fertile. So it's normal during a molt as most don't continue to lay. Look more to her behaviors. Is she eating, drinking, and scratching about? When they stop doing that stuff there's something wrong. Combs shrink up in sick birds too, but generally the bird will act sick.
