What is up with this hens comb?

Hi! I was wondering what could be wrong with this hens comb? I got both of the hens at the same place and time and one has a pink comb and the other doesn’t. Pictures of both are attached. Thanks

The one with dark comb is just due to normal pigmentation, some black colored chickens have the black Extended into the comb, or face.

A possibility is that she maybe a Fibro Easter Egger. Which are completely black, due to Fibromelanosis.

And the hen with the pink comb isn’t a rooster right? I just had someone tell me it is so just wanted to double check

That's a hen or pullet (depending on age).

Nothing is wrong with her comb, she just has fibromelanism. Also, how old is the one you are questioning the gender of?

It's a hen and I agree with everyone else. She does have fibromelanism and it' nothing serious! Like it sounds.
