Yes, they are sweet birds. How old are your golden comets?I too have Golden Comets and while I've raised a plethora of different breeds of chickens in the past, this is my first round with GCs. So far, so good - knock on wood!! I haven't had any health issues whatsoever. Taking into consideration the fact that they are egg laying machines, I've been very mindful with what I feed them - no junk food or table scraps. Everything I feed them has a purpose aimed at their immune systems. I've found that they seem to thrive when given a little more protein, calcium, etc. than what you'd give a non-hybrid layer. That's just been my experience thus far. With all of that said, the ONLY issue I've had with them is they are too trusting and sweet which, makes it difficult to free-range them because they are more curious than afraid.
