No Wyandotte is supposed to have a single comb. I'd rather not quote something from the APA Standard right now.

But at least Hatcheries get the coloring right sometimes

Some facts

Appearance

The Wyandotte is a medium sized bird with a rose comb and clean legs. The chicken feathers are broad and loosely fitting. The area around the vent is very fluffy. The legs are yellow, although some silver laced may have grey.

Colors

There are eight colors recognized by the APA (American Poultry Association) which are golden laced, silver laced, white, black, buff, Columbian, partridge and silver penciled. In bantams there is also buff Columbian, black breasted red, blue red, lemon blue, barred,brown red, and birchen that are recognized by the American Bantam Association. However, there are more colors than that which are either recognised by similar organisations in other countries like the PCGB (Poultry Club of Great Britain). These colors include blue laced red and buff laced. Overall there are 17 colors. The cock is a different color. It is tan with a long neck and a purple head. They are often called the veiny roaster due to the visibility of the veins through the dark matted feathers that end at the neck.[citation needed]

Characteristics

The Wyandotte is a breed that suits both free range and confinement in a run. Hens occasionally become broody. They are also very vocal, uttering soft clucks on a regular basis.
The breed has been noted for being incredibly friendly, and combined with their easy maintainability are a favorite with those new to raising chickens.[1]

That's why if you have a defective comb, might want to switch birds or breed it out, lol. My opinion.
