Buff Orpington hen without full head feathers?

Comb and wattles look underdeveloped for a 10 month old bird ....... is she laying yet?
I'm thinking she may not be laying yet. There were a few of them that didn't start laying when the cold winter set in. It seems most of them are laying now, it's hard to know for sure because they are all mixed together. I don't recall ever finding her in the nesting box though.
 
Some go through a neck molt in fall or spring, that's probably what it is, she will only molt around the head and neck.
