What can I do about this comb?

Works on chickens too, might take quite a bit of time just due to there being so much there on these boys. I'd think it would be a stop and go process due to the heat produced, not to mention the smell. Dremels are absolutely perfect for upkeep though when there isn't so much material to remove. There is just a lot of extra rooster in multiple places here. :)
You could also use a dremel tool with a coarse sanding drum, that way when you hit the quick it's a tiny spot of blood easily stopped with cornstarch rather than the gushers you can get when cutting the quick with bladed trimmer. Have never trimmed a chickens nails, but it works with dogs.

:lol: 'bout spit my coffee out!!

Well, yes, need to rotate nails worked due to heat build up...
...and might be good to do in multiple sessions anyway.
 
Thanks! I've been afraid to cut into the spurs because I don't know how far the quick goes. How much should I cut off? Half?
Also, trim his toenails as they are a bit long. Use small nail cutters for dogs to make it as accurate as possible. And his mate too
 
I don't know if it is caused by the size of the comb. I have a Naked Neck-Turken mix rooster who has such a huge comb. He doesn't get this bad, just a bit purple. I wonder if it is the size difference. My rooster is almost 2ft and has a gigantic comb (X2 as big as my leghorns' comb) and doesn't get this bad. While yours have a bigger size difference. I would try and deworm him to see is that is the problem.
 
He's like a comb with a little rooster attached.
That is hilarious. I never thought of it that way!

He's one of two indoor pet chickens. He's a strange size, too small for a standard, a little too big for a bantam. He and his brother are mixed longtails, and are a year and a half old. I don't think the comb could possibly get any bigger!View attachment 1630478
