What's wrong with my cockerel's comb?

[nslavin]

My three month old white leghorn cockerel seems perfectly healthy (eats regularly, fresh water everyday, normal stool, no vomit, no coughing), except for his comb. It's flopped over, shrunken, and has become really pale. What's wrong with him? I'm really worried about this.

Visually inspect him for lice/mites, especially around the vent area.

We checked-- nothing is on him, the vent is clear.

Post a picture, it might be genetic and nothing you are doing is wrong.
