Yellow skin, Shriveled up crown, sick Ancona?! Help!

[IamMina]

My Ancona, pocky has recently been looking and acting weird. I know it is fall and so she is molting but she's showing other odd signs other than feather loss. Her crown has suddenly shriveled up and developed a few black spots near the base. Her skin is very pale and her earlobes and face are somehow a bright bright yellow. Normally her skin around her face is red and her earlobes are white. She is normally very calm and will let me hold her without a problem but she is suddenly very protective. Should this worry me? Our second Ancona is not showing any of the same signs so I know its not part of the breed.
Please get back to me if you can!
Thank you
-Mina

Warty Growths on Comb
The appearance of warty growths or sores on the fleshy parts of a chicken's head is not usually a health risk that the producer should be concerned with. These lesions are produced as the bird's response to fowl pox virus injected by a mosquito. The condition appears more serious than it actually is. A scab forms as the bird develops a resistance to the viral disease organism. The bird will not usually show other effects to the disease and will recover within a short time unless complications arise.

Okay well I don't think that's it, she doesn't match a lot of the symptoms so I've looked into a lot of stuff about yellowed skin and one of the links talked about amenia? I think it was which is like worms.

ok, you can easily treat for them....

I have yet to have issues, but I am a firm believer in using DE all the time, bedding little in food, dustbath and of course I do the ACV in water and pumpkins!!!
