I have 3 RIR chicks then I have one who I thought was a Golden Laced Wyandotte, but now I'm not so sure, bc she doesn't have a Comb, I thought it would come on as she got older but no nothing, I think the chicks are 9 weeks ( I lost trace a while ago lol) so did I just get the breed wrong? Is something wrong with her? Will it grow later in her life?

(My RIR roo is right next to her in the first pic)

It definitely has a comb. Looks to be a rose comb which is what a Wyandotte should have.

Thank you, when I got her I was told that she was a barred rock, and then she never got the black and white stripes so, I didn't know if it was like a deformity in chicks.

Rose and pea combs take far longer to develop than the single combs. The pea comb in particular will never get huge like a single comb can. To those unfamiliar with these types of combs, it can seem like they don't have a comb for a long time.
