A comb can alert you to a chicken's general circulation and condition. A pale pink, shrunken comb may be due to anemia, might infestation, or the bird is in moult or reacting to weather conditions. Normally in heated situations, the comb will be bright read as the bird is trying to get rid of as much body heat as possible.
In heat stress, the bird cannot get rid of the heat fast enough.
The bird will show the following signs/symptoms:
- panting or have labored breathing,
- pale comb and/or wattles,
- spreading wings away from body,
- diarrhea,
- lethargy,
- extreme stress: limpness, unresponsive and seizures.

Does heat cause stress fractures?
This depends on the type of window/glass as some glass is thermally treated. However, stress in the glass from contraction/expansion can make a noticeable crack. Heat alone will not crack glass but it will, over time, melt it.

How do you test the pressing comb?
