Some do have large, floppy combs. I have a Brown Leghorn with a really large comb that hangs over an eye like bangs. Here's a thread discussing it: https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/616200/floppy-combs-need-some-advice.

Floppy combs are a hallmark of Leghorn hens
. The extra large comb is one of the things that help them tolerate higher temps than other breeds. Blood circulating through the comb let off excess heat and helps keep the bird cool.
and they're neat looking!
