The red suggests a Black Sex link. She should start laying soon.

Is the dark comb and waddels rare?

My BSL's comb's and faces reddened up a bit but they still have black earlobes and alot of black in their face/waddles and comb...they started laying about a month ago.

Probably not rare....but less common for sure. I have a mutt with black/purplish comb and wattles. Mom was a marans & dad an EEmutt (I think). Out of the 60 or so chickens that I have had past couple of years, she is the only one with the dark coloring like that. Not sure how genetics works or where it comes from.

I Have Two Black Sexlinks Looks Nothing Like That..

black sexlink is a RIR and Barred rock X hybred they both do not have black faces and black feet
i think you should look somemore.

Dont know how well this pic helps, but my BSL when I got her at 17 weeks had a black comb and most of her face... it got red by 21 weeks or so. Now it has a huge red comb and is a good layer, although my meanest bird..

Still not convinced thats a black sexlink..
RIR+BARRED ROCK = sexlink none have deep black face and legs

The chicken wrangler there is cute but from his expression I would say he also knows that's the meanest bird in the flock.

Is there a chance she has some Sumatra blood?
They have the black comb and wattles but are lighter built
