bantam comb

[chickengangg]

my two bantams are the same age but one has a droopy comb, she seems healthy, social, and eats just fine, idk where else to put these but im curious as to why? I know most droopy combs are signs of illness and lethargy but she seems happy so. Heres them one has a fine looking comb the other one kind flops over

This is a non issue. Single combs almost never stand at perfectly straight attention due to the weight. Genetics also plays a role in how the comb will present. It may not be ideal when a portion of a straight comb folds over when you want to make the rounds of chicken shows, but it's not a health issue.

When a chicken is slipping into ill health, it can affect their hormone levels which govern comb quality. You would see a bright red comb turn pale and resemble a slice of lunch meat, as well as go droopy. A chicken that is behaving normally with a bright red comb is nothing to worry about. If a comb goes floppy and pale, that chicken has usually been ill for some time, behaves like a sick chicken, and the prognosis usually isn't good.

I agree, I don't think there's anything wrong with your hen. Sometimes combs are just a little floppy.
