Rooster question

[Easter eggers]

I have a 12 week old roo and when ever I let him out of the coop in the morning his comb is purple then after a while it gos back red. Is this normal?

Dark color means the blood is flowing hot. That could mean his hormones are raging or he's just plain hot. How hot is it where you are?

Around 50 to 60 degrees at night

I'd go with hormones.

I bet its his hormones too. I have a 15 week old roo and when I open the coop doors in the morning he comes out like a little tornado, just all wound up and feisty. I'll have to check comb color, though.
