yeah it does from that angle, i think it may be because of the blood on the back of it making it look funny, i've looked pretty hard and culled hard for combs so far
the breeder that this bird is from I mainly culled for deformities, color , or size( or lack of)

.you have taught me how and what to look for mr VC. i am not trying to pick on anyones birds i am just learning and just a beginner. compared to many. iv learned the hard way on everything i do. and leg color is no exception.

its like the west coast swing.ive been learning the hard way. loli keep makeing mistakes but i learn bettwr when i fail . i guess thats life
