Missing comb?

[kathycltnh]

new site looks great. Still learning my way around.

I have a 5 week old silver laced Wyandotte. She seems to be missing her comb. All the other chicks (12 others - 4 different breeds) all seem to have similar ones. I'm attaching a picture. Hers seems to be missing. Although I'm not sure if it was ever there. Should we be concerned? She seems healthy otherwise. Thank you. Forgive me if I posted this to the wrong forum.

The comb isn't missing, it's just not the type you're used to. Wyandottes have a rose comb which is a flat, shield shape at this age.

The comb is there. There are different type of combs, pea combs are often tiny and flat with 3 rows of bumps. The comb on this one is obvious and will get a little larger as the chick matures

Yes. I agree with this. Also, all chickens grow at their own rate.

Thank you! I wasn't sure and I've checked out all these pictures but couldn't tell. I'm so relieved.
