Red Inside Mouth

[BellaBlueBell]

I have a 10 week old mille fleur d'uccle hen. She was sitting with me and I noticed she would open her beak sometimes - it was very red inside. Any ideas why? She's eating, drinking, eyes/nose look normal. Very alert, although missing her rooster companion that recently had to be rehomed.

Do you have a photo of the inside of her beak?
