Hi, welcome to BackYardChickens!

I'm not sure whether you are referring to the shape of the comb or the color.

If it's the shape you are worried about, thats called a "Rose Comb". There are over 9 different types of combs.

This is a single comb. (very common.)

Here is a cart that might help you:

I was wondering what the white dot is on her head. Is it an infection?
