Blue Orpington with black comb

[browland84]

Hello I am new to this forum and somewhat new to the chicken obsession.

Anyway one of my chicks is a three week old Blue Orpington and it has a black comb! All my other chicks have a pink color comb. What does this mean and or is this normal? Thanks!

Here is a older picture. I think here the chick was a week old. Color hasn't changed it's only gotten bigger. Also she is suppose to be a girl. Maybe I'm wrong?

Anybody?

Could I have a roo on my hands?

Here is a picture of her today

Hi. I don't think a black comb is a sign of a roo. I also don't think that is a buff Orpington... Sorry :/

it happens. Do you know if most blue orps have black combs?

did it turn out to be a pullet or a cockerel?
