12 week old JG Rooser with only one Wattle?

[CAjerseychick]

Hey all could NOT figure out where to post this question-- is this a big deal? Only one bird out of my 16 has anything remotely developing into a big red comb/ wattle.... And he is big (although one of his sisters is bigger but with zilch comb/wattle development)-- He looks normal, healthy, good eater and if you view from right side he looks all good but then you look on his left and he has a little shrunken wattle, a teeny flap...
I know that genetically, symmetry is best for alotta different reasons....
But he is the only surviving Boy (dog ate the other 2).... and I did want some chicks eventually.... Is it ok to save him for breeding?

I initially had a hard time finding local Jersey Giants-- so got him and 5 sibs, of which him and 2 pullets are left, and supplemented with hatchery chicks, so he is only related to 2 out of 15 pullets....
Thanks all....
OOPs sorry mispelled "Rooster" in thread title... but editor does not let you Edit that!

How old is he? The wattles often do not develop at exactly the same rate; depending on his age, I would not yet worry.

Oops - I see you said he's 12 weeks old. I wouldn't worry yet - but if he eventually doesn't develop another one, I'm not sure that I would use him. I don't believe that's a DQ, but definitely would be a fault. I don't have my SOP here with me - if you have one, you should be able to find the answer there.

OK thanks, I wasnt thinking of showing him but wanted good genes for his progeny.... Its hard to believe they have more growing to do they are so big!
