Pale comb!!!!

[whittychick]

So my chickens are molting and I noticed one of my girls had a very pale comb...is this normal when they molt? She's totally fine and herself. I'm getting nervous!!

Yes, it's normal.

The comb gets lighter when a hen stops laying eggs. The comb will get more red before she starts laying eggs again.

Are all your hens the same breed or mixed?

I see you are on Cape Cod. It seems late for molting there. How long have your hens been molting?
