Just got this six week old black Rhode Island Red. Tiny little thing. Woke up today to the weirdest chicken sound. Them saw the comb grew overnight! Here's a picture.

What did you mean by "black Rhode Island Red" - asking as there is no black RIR, perhaps you meant mixed breed that involved some RIR parentage? If it is the latter, do you know the other parentage because this bird is not showing any characteristics of RIR.
This looks exactly like a few of my Easter Eggers.
Easter eggers, being mixed breed birds of many different potential parent breeds, come in a wide variety of colors and patterns and are not even consistent in comb type, leg color or facial leg feathering
