Hens with one wattle

[NatureGirl74]

I have two 7 month old turkens. They both have small combs and only 1 wattle. The wattle is right in the middle. It's not to the side. Is this normal for turkens. None of my other turkens have this. Just curious.

The orange/red one is laying eggs. They're green though. I didn't think turkens laid green eggs.

hm. What feed are you giving them? How old are they?

looks like my purebred turkey. Turkeys have one wattle in the center

Very interesting. It's actually a neat look. Do you have the parent stock?

They are 7 months old. There on 15% Family Farm layer crumbles. The grey one might be laying eggs. I've got several other young hens and I've found a lot of little eggs lately.

No I don't

try waiting a couple of weeks to see if the combs get bigger and watch for different behavior.

Any idea why the red one lays green eggs

It's a mix if it lays green eggs, or a designer one.

They should have 2 wattles, check to see if for some reason the top one has one just folded against its chin. I had a Phoenix boy that had that happen.

Plumage color has nothing to do with egg color.
