I can only assume you mean the comb of your chicken is turning black and that would either be a trauma injury or the result of frostbite. Either way this is not great news but you can use a petroleum jelly like Vaseline on the comb to keep it moisturized. Comb and wattle injuries are not uncommon and unless the bird gets blood poisoning they can survive the loss.
