Is it normal for their combs to get floppy, or could it be a sign of illness?? My roosters stand perfectly tall but some of the hens are falling over. Mostly the black sex link and New Hampshires. Don't mind Minnie's stink eye

Normal. :)

I'd be worried if the combs were pale and flopped over, but nice red and flopped over for a couple of breeds is very normal. Leghorns and RIRs, for example. Sex-links and New Hampshires are close enough to that stock to also sport the "Bohemian" look.

My RIR, Rhoda, has a very stylishly flopped comb. She's the envy of the less popular girls.
