RIR drooping comb is this normal?

[bambi]

I have a RIR hen that has a drooping comb. It seems that the bigger the comb gets the more it droops. It is nice and red but it covers her left eye. she is 22 wks old. Is she lacking something in her diet? At first thought it was cute but now concern.

I don't think there is anything wrong with her....just the way she is...maybe a little of another breed in her parents.

She could be a production red, i have lots of them and some og their combs hang like that.

I have some young RIR ,but their combs stand up.

Thanks for your answers. I guess she could be a production red. They were sold to me as RIR and I only know that I know nothing

but I am learning.Thanks again for the help

Also, in the heat the comb expands to help cool the bird. That could be causing her comb to enlarge.
