How old would you guess this Barred Rock Hen is? And IS she a barred rock?

[AnnieSantiago]

I bought these hens June 7, about 5.5 weeks ago.
When I bought them, the fella said they were 5 months old.
But now I'm realizing they were much younger, because I'm looking on YouTube at 20 week old hens and they already have red combs and wattles. My girl barely has a pink comb. And she's supposedly 24-25 weeks old now.

Could she be a Dominique girl?

How old do you think she is, those of you who have Barred Rocks?

At the same time, I bought 3 Red Sex-links and the Blue Wyandotte mix.
Two of the reds are laying - just started this week.
He said they were all the same age.

Thoughts?

She is not a Dominique, she is a barred rock. She is somewhere in the 14-16+ week range

Well fiddlesticks! lol
I was hoping she'd start laying this week since the others are laying.
She is as large as the others - just no comb developed yet like theirs.

She looks like my barred rocks...just lots younger. They are good hens...the feathering on your blue is really nice!

Thanks. Can't wait to see the Blue grown up.

Pics from when you first got them might make it easier to tell their true age.

Here is when I first got her 5.5 weeks ago. She really doesn't look much different! The others have grown combs and 2 are laying.

I agree, she looks like mine did when they were roughly 16 weeks. The pic of her when you first got her looks to be around 10 weeks, so that would be about right. She should be growing in her comb & wattles any time.

ETA: Here are a couple pics of my most & least mature girls at 20 weeks.
