This isn't really an emergency per se, just something I'm a little bit worried about...
I just had my Silkie cockerel (almost 6 months of age) out and on my lap, giving him his daily once over, when I realized that his comb is kind of crooked. I can push it into the position it's supposed to be, but it won't stay there, and he isn't very happy about it when I do so~
Is this a sign of some medical problem? He's acting and looking normally, it's just almost like his comb is "bigger" on one side than the other.... Or is it just a "quirk" of his, like his incorrect coloring~?
Also, should I be worried about it impeding his ability to breathe...? It IS kind of big...
Thanks in advance!

Can you see how the one side (right in the picture) kinda tapers in where the left side doesn't?
