    Dubbing questions.

    I just dubbed an Easter Egger with a modified floppy pea comb that flapped over his eye. I wrapped him in a towel and held him between my legs. Then I determined the cut and made the cut with one pass using sharp scissors. There was no bleeding but the rooster got very still for about 5...
