I'm not certain why the の is in the 2nd sentence:

> 「それから、おれのくちばしやつめを見ろ。そして、よくお前 **の** とくらべて見るがいい。」 「鷹さん。それはあんまり無理です。」

It seems like the meaning should be "And then, often you are compared with
[me] and you look good."

But if that's right, then the の seems unnecessary. (Shouldn't お前とくらべて = "you
are compared with [me]?)

So, I guess the の is saying that the comparison _itself_ belongs to お前?  
_e.g._  
"And then, often [there is the] comparison **of** you with [me] and you look
good."  
 _or_  
"And then, often [there is] **your** comparison with [me] and you look good.

Are either of those right?

question
translation particle-の
Would someone be willing to check my reading of の in this sentence?
お前の stands on its own and means 'yours'. The の doesn't join お前 to the
following words as you seem to suggest. So お前のとくらべる is 'compare (mine) with
yours', where 'mine' is implicit.

For the verb+がいい part have a read of [this
post](https://japanese.stackexchange.com/questions/36714/the-meaning-
of-%EF%BD%9E%E3%81%8C%E3%81%84%E3%81%84).

verb-て見る is 'try doing verb' in this case (see @chocolate's comment below for
why 見る is in kanji)

Finally (unless context suggests otherwise) I'd be more inclined to think that
よく meant 'well' rather than 'often'.

Maybe I'd translate the whole thinks as something like:

> You should carefully/thoroughly compare (mine) with yours.

where よく is carefully/thoroughly, or some word that implies that the
comparison is done 'well'.

Thanks to @chocolate for helping to improve my answer.
