His comb has black on it. Any ideas. He seems healthy and active.

I'd say frostbite. My SF roo has this and we've gone to putting bag balm on it a couple times a week. I was told (don't know if it's true) that if you let the comb get too frostbitten and infected, they go sterile. Don't know what to think of that, but it's a good idea to try to prevent the frostbite anyway.
 
It is cool here. It is 16 now. I also have them in pen with 2 heating lamps on them. It stays warm in there and my eggs do not freeze. He is the only one with it. I thought it might be something worse. I will put something on it and keep an eye on him. Thanks
