I have 6 white leg horns. They are all laying. Today when I went to check on them I noticed one has these small black dots on its comb. There is no sign of bugs or anything and she is eating and drinking fine. I will get pictures
 
Not the best pic but she was not having pictures today

It's tough to take photos of White Leghorns. They love to run around and trying to catch one is nearly impossible.
They look like bug bites to me. It's possible mosquitos or gnats could be feeding off your birds inside the coop at night. You can install flexible screen on the vents. It will stop mosquitos, flies and gnats from feeding off your hens.
You can buy a roll of the flexible screen at Lowe's or Home Depot, it's not expensive and it works.
