big ugly floppy comb

[roosterlover101]

Is there a way to remove a chickens comb? My chickens comb is large and flopped down over her eye. It looks stupid, I am sure she doesn't like it, she can't see out of that eye and I think this will ruin her vision in that eye.
I don't know why her comb grew so big like a rooster comb, or why it doesn't stand up.

Without seeing her or knowing the breed I am inclined to guess that she is a Mediterranean breed. Almost all Mediterranean breeds (except buttercups) have huge single combs and while the roosters' are supposed to stand up, the hens' combs are supposed to flop over to one side.
So, tell us what breed she is.
You can dub any comb. Cock fighters dub their cocks' combs so they don't get grabbed and torn in a fight. They make a special shears for the job.
If you live where it gets hot, I wouldn't trim it much because that helps keep them cool. It works like a radiator because there are so many blood vessels near the surface.
I've raised Minorcas, Anconas, nearly 1000 each Leghorn and Penedesencas. I don't consider those big floppy combs ugly at all.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
And I believe they can see just fine. It is a lot better than those big feather crests Silkies, Houdans and Polish have.
If your hen doesn't like the comb flopped over her eye, she joins that opinion of millions of hens of the same breed that have existed over the course of hundreds of years.

She is a barred Plymouth Rock. I have only seen these hens with small combs in the past. I'm guessing hers just malformed?
She does seem to get hot more quickly than my other birds. Could that be why her comb grew like this?
I wouldn't want to do anything that causes her harm.
Is there a way to make it at least stand up?

My Daisy loved her floppy comb.
