Healthy combs or not?

Hello, I have three cream legbars that are about 6 months old. This is my first flock and I'm still learning what healthy chicken looks like. One chicken has a comb that is flopped over, the other two point up so I wanted to be sure this is normal? And also, I noticed some black spots on another chickens comb and am not sure if it's normal wear and tear or if it's an early sign of mites, pox, or if she's perhaps getting picked on (excessively or not?).

Thanks for all knowledgeable responses! They all seem to be happy and healthy aside from these concerns I have, but I know that prey animals are good at hiding illness so I'm doing my best to stay vigilant. I am loving having chickens so much!
