I have got four Bresse pullets, who are now 17 weeks old. Three have got lovely combs and wattles, but one has got virtually nothing. I have put a picture of her, and one of her sisters as my avatar so people can see it - the non-comb one is looking at the camera, but you can still see how little she has got. She is also definitely the lowest in pecking order now, although she used to stand up to them all and I think be second.
Is this at all 'normal' (whatever normal is!) for chickens this age? Will she get a full comb and wattle set? Will she lay eggs do you think?
As a sideline, what sort of age does this breed start laying - anyone got any experience of them?
Just worrying slightly... !
