There is no medical reason to cut the comb of a game rooster. This is very painful and can cause a lot of bleeding. If the comb is cut and not cared for properly, it can cause infections and death. It is not advised to do this. Some people say that it is done to prevent frost bite. There is no danger in frost bite.
