The Wyandotte Thread

I recently purchased two Wyandotte pullets, one is a black laced red and the other one a blue laced splash, I think. The lady I bought them from said they were both 20 weeks old. The BLR fits the 20 to 24 week size and development, but the blue laced was considerably smaller and began her juvenile molt just days after we brought her home. Gertie, is the blue laced and I am wondering if someone can help me determine her approximate age based on the color of her comb? It is much more pale than the BLR, Stella. I have posted pictures of each of them, hopefully it helps. We are new to backyard chickens and these are the first Wyandottes we've owned. I am a little worried about how pale Gertie's comb is, but it may be normal for her breed and age , just want to be sure.

My one and only Wyandotte pullet got snatched my a predator. :( There was only a pile of feathers and she was there when I let her out(around dawn) I'm assuming it was a hawk, we have seen them near where we live in the canyon
