This is my 4th thread about dubbing

THAT'S AWESOME! It's amazing how much more lively he looks! He's so alert and happy!

Yes comb removal made alot of difference in overall performance

... The concern is same with me too about the flow of the blood. Sometimes his comb gets balck when he sit in cool wind or air condition. I watch so many videos I hope some one experience the same issue and share their successful story but I'm really glad everyone sending their opinions

IMO your white leghorn rooster's comb is as big as it is because the Poultry Show Breeders selected for roosters with a ridiculously large comb as part of the White Leghorn Standard of Perfection.

It is quite common in commercial hatching egg operations to dub white leghorn roosters to prevent them from injuring their combs on the anti-roosting spinners on the feed troughs in commercial hen houses. FYI these spinners get in the way while the roosters try to eat. Also as long as a rooster has an injured comb he will likely be sterile. Sterility BTW is not a good thing for a rooster to possess on a hatching egg farm.

When a chickens' head turns black it is systematic of a loss of oxygen or low blood flow perhaps indicative of heart disease. Maybe dubbing will result in a more even or reliable supply of oxygen. Good luck.

BTW, chicken blood is the world champion clotting blood on Earth. Even when some K9 or other chicken killing vermin has slaughtered an entire flock it is uncommon to find a drop of blood. You can satisfy your curiosity on this by reading the posts of BYC members who are trying to figure out what killed their chickens.

^^^this^^^ it seems that perhaps it's time to adjust the standard of perfection! combs that large should not be bread for, IMHO. a true standard of perfection would be based on striking a balance of look and function, not just look. between the opposites lies the path!

This is a great thread because my friends @Saaniya and @connectdave both live in India and have been facing this similar life threatening challenge with their roosters.

Most dubbing information here, online and on you tube is geared more towards gamefowl and not for saving the life of a bird because the sheer size of an enormous comb is causing vision, eating and drinking, and respiratory issues because the neck is being weighed down.
Hopefully now that this thread exists more people will be able to get information on it!

@staceyj How often does this subject of dubbing huge combs come up? I could always make this a "sticky" here in the Emergency Section.
