Pale Combs in poultry are an indication of poor blood circulation. Many conditions can cause poor circulation and it depends on what exactly is ailing your bird. A good first check would be to look for parasites either on the bird (near the vent) or in the wood of the coop/ roost. Heavy parasite infestation, either external or internal (such as worms) can cause anemia. Stress tends to aggravate conditions such as this. Consult your local poultry extension specialist or call Penn State, Uconn or other credible agricultural colleges for further guidance.

What do you call the red thing on top of a rooster's head?
The red "skin" on a rooster is called the comb and wattle. The comb is the fatty loose "decoration" on the roosters head and is used for both cooling the rooster when it is hot and for attracting a mate. There are eight distinct varieties of combs on chickens and roosters. These are the varieties recognized by breeders, Buttercup, Cushion, Pea, Rose, Silkis, Single, Strawberry and V-shaped. The wattle is made of the same material, hangs under the neck and does the same job as the comb…it is the area of the chicken where the blood comes closest to the surface of the skin and allows air to cool the blood running through it.
