Should it be done?

I assumed comb points but was unsure what was meant so left it alone.

Sorry!! Comb points!

If the hens have less than desired points, or if he has other traits you certainly need, sure. Comb isn't actually that important compared to many other features, honestly. Some breeds it can be hard to come across a full flock of birds with just the right amount. Half, maybe most of my Marans have 6 instead of 5.

Agreed. I asked a judge about this issue before and he said that comb points really doesn't come into play unless there is a really close tie between 2 birds at a show. Now if the comb is really goobered up (like 12 points where there should be 5) I would find a different breeder bird.

If you keep your breeder birds with 4-6 points you will not have a problem with too many points. Since too many points is a fault, all faults should be taken into consideration when mating up your birds. Better to have one very good pair to breed from than several pair with several faults.
