Dubbing a rooster, either to conform to a breed standard or to prevent frostbite and fighting, is not a pleasant job for either participants (you or the chicken). Using scissors such as a set of sharp trauma sheers without serrated edges, you remove the comb slightly above the scull and usually the wattles as well. Yes, they bleed and are far from happy about the whole ordeal. The bleeding is not massively profuse, not arterial by any means but the tissue is highly vascular by nature. Use a blood stop/ clotting powder to contain the bleeding.
