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.
