Only growing one wattle ***UPDATED WITH PICTURES***

[catlikethief]

I have a 5 month old pullet (RIR smut) who is only growing one wattle, what gives? How unusual is this?

Thanks

This is Miss Petunia. This is the side with no wattle. It's just kinda flat red skin. It looks like it has the potential to grow one, but in the last 3 weeks, nothing just this itty bitty wrinkle of skin

This is the side with wattle, you can kinda see (maybe this isn't the best picture) How it hangs down like it normally should.

BTW- man was she pi**ed at me for taking these pictures!

Hmm. I haven't heard of a one-wattled chicken before, or 1 wattle being bigger than the other. Must be pretty unusual. See what other people say.

looks like she got picked on when she was smaller this couldhave caused the wattles to look like this

That is odd

She's not full grown, so I wouldn't worry about it. Her wattles just make her special, outstanding in her field!
