No comb

[BradM]

I have 6 Black Australorps that are 4 months old. All are big and act very healthy. However, there are 2 that have no comb and very small wattles. The other 4 have great combs and wattles. All ordered from the same place and arrived together.
Whats up?

Hopefully all are pullets - if so two are just slower maturing than the other four. Can you post pictures of the birds ?

Maybe the 4 are male and the 2 are female?

I'll do a sex check as soon as they sign the waiver from H.R. I will post puctures in the next few days.

Sorry to necro an old post but, I've got one Australorp that has the same lack of comb and wattles that it looks more like an eagle than a chicken.

Is this common with Australorps?
