Funky comb on an otherwise very nice bird

I plan to cull him because of this but thought I\'d check first for feedback. He is an otherwise beautiful blue wheaten cockerel. Is there a name for this comb, or is it just messed up?

Yes, it is wierd, but I\'ve seen worse.    If you plan to use him as a breeder you may want to consider picking only females with extra small, shapely combs.   It\'s called compensation mating.
