There could be many reasons as to why a chickens comb could be bleeding.
It only depends on the type of chicken you have and in what area you live in. If you live in states with very cold winters and the chickens have large combs,then it should be decombed to stop frost bite. NO You do not have to remove a chickens comb and you should not. Removing the comb off a chicken is absolutely not necessary, anywhere. The comb has two functions. The primary function of the comb is to cool the chicken down in the summer. It is like a small radiator and blood flows close to the surface of the comb, air passing over the comb will remove some of the radiated heat and cool the blood as it passes through. Chickens do not sweat, taking off the comb would be like covering yourself in plastic wrap and sitting in the hot sun. The other function for the comb is to attract a mate. A healthy comb on either gender indicates potentially good genetic quality recognized by potential mates.
Only cross breeds. Those chickens without the normal comb and wattle may either be too young to have developed them yet or be crossed with a Silkie or Polish hen. The true Cuckoo Moran breed do indeed have combs and wattles.
The "crown" on a chickens head is called a comb. The comb and also the wattle (under the beak) are there for two reasons. First and foremost, the appendages are used like little cooling devises. Chickens do not sweat, the blood circulating in a chicken is cooled in these areas by the ambient outside temperature. The other reason chickens have a comb and wattle is for attracting a mate. A good healthy comb or wattle is a good sign to other chickens that the bird is a potentially good mate.
A side sprig....bane of the show chicken. Judges look for side sprigs when looking at show chickens. It is a growth projecting from the side of the chickens comb. It will disqualify any show bird with a single comb. It is not as noticeable in double combed hens. Compare it to a Miss universe contest and it would be like a contestant with short hair and a third ear.
The red thing on top of a chicken's head is called a comb. It is the primary way for chickens to expel body heat. All of a human's skin helps us expel body heat but for a chicken it is only the comb and the skin of its face that expel the heat.
chickens have red wattle/comb
Both the wattle and comb have two uses. These appendages are used to attract mates and are also used to cool the chickens. Blood circulates close to the surface of both the comb and wattle allowing for release of internal heat. Chickens do not sweat, they pant and heat is released via the cooler air flow over the wattle & comb.
It is hurt

I believe you mean the COMB not the cone The comb is the red fleshy appendage on top of the chickens head. The comb serves a number of purposes. It can be an indicator of health and vitality, a cooling agent and an attraction to the opposite sex.

Humans nd chickens both have feremones which is the same when talking about female and male chickens and what makes the roosters have bigger combs is there testosterone.
Well... Yes and no , but most people yes
The comb. There are eight distinct varieties of comb for various breeds of chickens and some chickens do not have any comb at all.The thing that hangs under the beak is called a wattle.Both these appendages are used to cool the chicken and to attract a mate.
