Pink Combs On A Leghorn

[justinsgoteggz]

my leghorns are laying but have pink combs... is this a usual problem or something i should be worried about...

A picture would really help for us to see what you mean by pink. Sometimes after a bird has gone thru a molt, the comb might not be really bright red yet, and will still lay. Also some sort of low grade infection within the flock or a mild virus can pale the combs a bit and they will still be laying.

You need to give more details and maybe some pics for a better diagnosis. You can also post this question in the Chicken Behaviors and Egg Laying section here on BYC. Be sure to give as many details and pics as you can....

Welcome to BYC. A picture would be very helpful in generating comments about your birds.

Have you checked for worms /and /or mites.

Glad you joined us! How long have they been laying? Laying usually causes the combs to redden up, but if they just started, this might not have happened yet. Or, the pale combs could be a sign of worms, external parasites, some sort of disease, or that they are going to molt soon. A photo would help.
