Pale comb

[Ingavid]

I have 4 hens- 2 RIRs and 2 buff orps. Ruby, a RIR consistently has a pale comb. All the other hens combs are bright red. They have the same diet and free-range in the grass every day. Ruby behaves like all the others and appears healthy, no lice. I consistently get 3 eggs almost every day, sometimes 4. Should I be concerned about her pale comb? The only difference is that Ruby is the only one who gets broody.

If she's broody that might be why her comb is pale. Their comb usually turns pale when they start setting. If she's acting normal otherwise, I wouldn't worry, just watch her.
