They appear pure Minorca.However the comb is really large on this female too. No the wattles do not have to be dubbed but they are probably very long as it often goes along with huge combs.However big wattles can freeze if they drag in the water and then freeze in cold temps.,they can swell like golf balls and fill with fluid,needing draining.They can also get injured easy. The comb is often thick ,even if not inflamed. Usually a duller pair of dubbing shears is used to cut and crush the comb,as a sharp razor bladed cutter will cause more bleeding. It should be warm when dubbing and some sterile powder applied to help clot and reduce bleeding,cold seems to aggravate bleeding but bleeding to death is very ,very rare.The bird needs to be confined by himself for a week or more.
