I'll post a photo in the morning. He's snoozing.
He's a mixed breed, definitely. Has barring like a barred rock, but it looks like he has a combination of rock, leghorn and maybe a bit of crested Polish (he has a bit of a "mane" on his head that stands up when he gets excited). It's a single comb.
The comb actually flops over his right eye, not his left. It has a very distinct indentation or curve just above the base on that side,
I did devise a temporary "fix" today that seems to be working for now. Took a strip of soft cotton fabric and tied it around the comb so part of it runs along the top of his head/base of the comb. It pulls the comb up just enough that it no longer rubs against his eye, and he can also see around it better.
He tried to scratch it off at first, but after a couple of minutes he seemed to forget about it and looked a lot more comfortable. So, I'm leaving it for now. If I can come up with a better setup, I'd take it, though!
