Beak, leg @ comb colors, help the newbie please!

I have 7 roosters & 3 hens about 19 weeks old, unsure of breed as i acquired them as babies from a friend. my question is, if they have black legs, black beaks is it ok to have dark combs & wattles (wattles are still fairly small)? or does this indicate a problem? most of the chickens with dark combs are mostly black, there is a light honey colored hen (light yellow legs) who has red comb & the only red male (willow green legs) has a bright red comb. i have checked them for lice/mites, respiratory secretions with no problems. feathers look shiny & healthy. thanks, Holly

You mean dark with black pigment? That's fine. Look at this.

pretty cool breed, mine have that sporty build & black skin around their faces & around their eyes. i had read somewhere all chickens have red combs so i was getting anxious to think something could be wrong with a few of them as they act & look very healthy. thanks

It soundslike you're talking about something called gypsy face. which is basically a dark pigmented face. It is standard for some breeds.
