we have a barred plymouth rock whose comb was so big it flopped over to one side. we named her queen elizabeth because my granddaughter said her comb looked like a floppy hat like the queen wears. i was giving treats to the hens yesterday and looked for queen, but didn't see her. i called again and again, then i counted and realized that all bpr were there. i looked at their combs and noticed that none of them had big floppy ones...they were all normal sized.
is it normal for that to happen? we have had chickens for 5 years and no hen ever had a comb as big as queen's was, and no other hen had their comb reduce in size. does anyone have any idea why queen's comb would shrink in size by at least 1/2? she appears to be healthy and her comb is still a nice bright color.
