Thank you Dr Bjorn Netland, Since a comb that doesn't flop is important for good Cream Legbar cockerels, we need to keep them air conditioned, I think... (trying to be funny here).
It would be so interesting to see a study of temperature effects on growth stages regarding the comb and wattles of the males. I wonder if it would be like certain other animals-- many desert animals have larger ears to dissipate heat.....Thinking that on a cockerel the comb and wattles would be large surface areas for heat to dissipate. Conversely frostbite is more likely on a large single comb than on a pea comb.
