When I saw my chicken this morning (11am I accidentally slept in) I noticed her comb was purple (only the top half.) What does this mean? What should I do? Yesterday she didn’t eat much food which is odd for her and she hasn’t laid an egg in over a week. Please help me. Her energy is good and she doesn’t seem lethargic.

Make sure she has water available-- if the water freezes or gets spilled, chickens get thirsty, and then they don't eat either.

(My suggestion has nothing to do with her comb, just one other reason that a chicken might eat less than usual.)

You could bring her in and there is a chance of saving her frost bite comb other wise it will fall of
