Comb on white leghorn

[Rosey516]

Can someone please tell me if the comb is supposed to be floppy.. just doesn't look right.. the others aren't like that ..

Some do have large, floppy combs. I have a Brown Leghorn with a really large comb that hangs over an eye like bangs. Here's a thread discussing it: https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/616200/floppy-combs-need-some-advice.

Very pretty girl!

She is the friendliest of all the chicks I love her..

Floppy combs are a hallmark of Leghorn hens

. The extra large comb is one of the things that help them tolerate higher temps than other breeds. Blood circulating through the comb let off excess heat and helps keep the bird cool.

and they're neat looking!
