Olive egger hasn’t laid and Pale comb

[Ammelid]

Hey so it’s our first winter with our 3 beautiful ladies.(olive egger,Easter egger, and a cream legbar) The olive egger aka Olivia hasn’t laid this winter, and now that I’m looking at her her comb is pale. She’s been eating and her treats as well, but hasn’t been laying or just been down a bit . Any idea what could it be . Yes she has been molting a bit so have the others but, the other girlies have been laying daily or every other day. Here’s a videoOlivia

Pale combs indicate a pause in the lay cycle. Not all birds lay in the winter.

My olive egger has not laid this winter either (her first winter). She had a very small molt, just on her neck, and even though the feathers have grown back completely, she still has not laid. Her comb is pale just like your girl's.

I don't think it is anything to worry about. Some hens lay in winter, some just don't.

Good luck with your beautiful Olivia!
