Thank you for the reply and pics.
How cold has it been where you are? It could be frostbite

I agree with @OrpingtonManiac it looks like the beginning of frostbite.

It has been coldish last week it was around the 20 degrees this week it was around the 30s next week will be really cold around 18 degrees and it recently snowed only a little if it is a frostbite how do a cure it to prevent it from getting worse. Here’s the picture of how the weather looks like.

The biggest factor in preventing frostbite is humidity. As long as the coop isn’t damp the birds can handle pretty low temperatures. I have a heat lamp that I turn on if it gets colder than 10 F.

Scooping out droppings, using a covered nipple waterer, and patching leaks in the coop can help prevent dampness.

If his comb is frostbitten, don’t rub it, put any ointment on it, or expose him to dramatically warmer temperatures (like in the house). All of these things can increase frostbite damage.

Do make sure his environment is dry, and consider adding a heater if that doesn’t help.

The shape of his right pupil is a little concerning; has he always been like that?

Handsome Rooster!

I agree, it looks like some Frostbite. Don't handle the comb.

It may worsen in time as the temps stay cold and he's exposed a little more. Tips may turn black and eventually fall off, giving the comb a more rounded appearance.

Frostbite can be due to many factors, exposure is one of them. Large straight combs seem to be more susceptible, but I think he will be fine as long as he's eat/drinking well.

Not really sure what is wrong with his pupil
