Purple comb

[EightChooks]

Our Australorp hen’s comb has turned purple... do I need to worry?

Is it cold where you are?

What's the temp? Maybe a touch of frostbite?

Not really cold for the last week. Update: the comb looks much better and lot more red today. Hopefully it becomes normal in a day or two.

!!!
I had a female chicken and her cone on top turned purple! she died after... in my arms...
purple cone means the loss of air! the bird is loosing air!!
white cone means the loss of blood! the bird has mites and mites suck there blood.
like a white skinny cone ( looks destroyed) means frost bight and needs treat meant
