These shredded feathers are throwing me!

[Heres2U_MrsR]

I have six ten week old Lavender Orps and this one is still a bit of a question mark for me. Size, stance, wing structure, and temperament are all similar to the other pullets. I don’t see pointy saddle or hackle feathers, but the shredded feathers are tripping me up. No attempts at crowing yet. Still, the wattles and comb are maybe slightly larger and redder. Thoughts? Side note: the one furthest from the camera is the one in question.
