Most popular reasons for dubbing 
Dubbing roosters is a procedure most often used on show birds to give a clean healthy appearance to the birds and birds which are used in illegal cockfighting to prevent the rooster's from grabbing each others combs while they fight, and other roosters are dubbed for health reasons.
Dubbing roosters and hens for health reasons
Some people dub their roosters and hens to prevent bacterial infections, to remove frostbitten combs, wattles, and earlobes in an effort to prevent the frostbitten parts from spreading and developing bacterial infections. Some people trim only the comb, if it is too  large and obstructing their birds eyesight.  
Is dubbing a chicken's comb painful to the birds?
The process of dubbing does not appear to be painful to the birds if done correctly but there is a considerable amount of bleeding during the process.  If dubbing is done incorrectly the bird will bleed to death. 
Some people consider dubbing as a normal procedure needed to keep their chickens healthy and cleaner while many more people consider dubbing as a horrific and unneeded torture of the birds. We would like to know what you think about this procedure.  Don't forget to take our survey about dubbing chickens below.
