Would this also be true for rose-combed birds? This makes me consider leghorns that generally have a large, floppy comb and are fabulous layers. I always thought that it was for heat reduction. Now wondering also if these large combed birds may have some bearing on broodiness, ie. leghorns are not a broody bird – could there be a correlation here with broodiness and selection of smaller combs & visa versa. ….And perhaps we should be selecting larger combed females for better fertility outcomes in the breeding pen.

They don’t talk about it in this study, but I have never seen the correlation between Comb and Broodiness. If I find something, I will let you all know.
