Is my rooster's comb okay?

[RubyDoe]

This is Russell Crow. He's about 5 months old, and he's always had a floppy comb. It hangs over one eye now that it's gotten larger, which seems to bother him.

Today I noticed what seems to be black speckles on the comb. I'm wondering if he's deficient in some vitamin? Should I be worried about his floppy comb?

Poor guy! That comb does seem like it would be in the way. The black spots are completely normal, they're just little wounds.

I have this issue I think I’m going to try super gluing it straight …. Thoughts?

How?

How?

I was going to separate the feathered area to the base of mines head pulling the comb back and place one dab of super glue with a paint brush end so it’s not a dot more like a small tiny line press and hold for 10 sec……..

Black specks are peck marks from other birds. If the comb interferes with his quality of life, it may be necessary to have it surgically removed.

It won't last long and might be uncomfortable for him. If the comb is really interfering with his quality of life, it will need dubbed. Otherwise, he's fine.

He just isn’t able to see on one side he uses his other eye when going about his day I’ll try to get a pic he is a mix lavender olive egger and silky so his comb just is too big for him from his daddy

Thanks for the feedback!

His comb seems more obnoxious to him than anything else. I will keep an eye on it to make sure nothing terrible starts happening.
