No wattles yet??

[tjb]

Some breeds just have small wattles, and sometimes none. My Ameraucana's don't have any. I wouldn't worry. If they grow in, they grow in, if they don't, then they just don't.

My Ameraucana just started laying this week and she does not have wattles that I can see, either. 20 weeks

Ameraucana are bearded which represses wattle development

This is the best I could do with how busy they are lol. no wattles and small pale combs. I just thought they'd be more developed by now

At only 15 weeks they are fairly well on track for development. You're a few weeks out from significant growth and then eggs
