One of my roosters has 3 points at the back of his comb. I just figured there are many variations for genetics.
Without pictures, it sounds like a flaw called side sprigs.
They occur in some breeds like Marans.
There are also 2 breeds where that isn't a flaw but actually correct. Penedesencas and Empordanesas have what is called a Carnation or King's comb. It starts as a single large comb with 5 or 6 points and then opens up in the back with what appears to be a flower from behind.
