As long as she seems healthy and active, and does not have internal or external parasites, you do nothing but observe. As I said earlier in this post, comb color is an imperfect indicator of health in chickens. Comb color changes based on ambient and internal temperatures, hormonal changes, amounts of light exposure, blood oxygen levels, overall health and condition, circulatory status, and the list goes on I am sure. These are just the reasons I can list off the top of my head (and my head is tired, so I am likely missing a few).I know this was a long time ago but how did these chickens with purple combs go?? I have an ex battery hen with a very large comb and it is purple/blue on the ends but she otherwise seems fine and am wondering what to do
