I have four chickens that are all approximately 9 months old. A Light Sussex, Golden Laced Wyandotte, Lavender Araucana and Plymouth Rock. The other 3 are laying quite well and frequently (it's actually winter and we get roughly 2 eggs a day). However our Plymouth Rock (who is bottom of the pecking order) has a tiny comb and wattles that are light pink. Her colour seems to get washed out around her earlobes and they are a washed out pinky white colour.
This photo is a few months old but she hasn't changed at all since it was taken (back in April). Is she defective or just a late bloomer? Also even if she never lays we plan on keeping her until she dies, she is our pet.
