This hens comb has been like this ever since the rooster started mating with his hens. Will this be healed, or is this going to be like this for the rest of her life?


 
Well, I'm not an expert, but one of my Barred Rock's combs folds over naturally in this fashion as well. We also do not have a mature rooster that would have caused her any problems. But if yours has indeed done this to your hen, I am not exactly sure of whether or not it will repair itself.....the experienced BYCers would know more.

The come changes color and it's more floppy when stressed but she looks to be just fine, I would have to agree that its just the breed, and it naturally falls over.
