Pale comb

[Merrilie]

I noticed today, my girlie has a pale comb by comparison to my others. She seems fine- eating, clucking, drinking, is alert and doing her chick stuff (altho not laying anything). She just went through a molt. The weather is cold (30 daytime) and they haven’t free- ranged as they are not fans of snow. Should I be concerned? And if it’s a problem, what as a newish chicken mom to do? Thanks!

Hormone levels drop and comb size and color decrease during a molt. If she appears otherwise fine, I think there are no worries.

Thank you so much!!!! I’ll just keep an eye on her.
