I have two wyandotte girls that are 20 weeks old one has no comb or waddles and her face is always pale and she is smaller. She eats drinks acts fine besides avoiding rest of flock. I know her and her sister get picked on sometimes others are a month older. I am starting to wonder if something is wrong with her. Thelma is the bare one Louise has fine comb. What do you all think?

If she's acting fine and eating well then I think she's just slower to mature than your other one.

They're both beautiful
Thank you they are my wife's favorites. She acts fine other than running from bigger girls when they get close while she is eating or drinking. I keep a few feeders in run along with one large feeder in coop and a couple waters in run so she has options. Just thought I would ask opinions here see what others think since we just got chickens at end of June still new to this.

Off to a great start! It's smart to have multiple feeders and waterers. A lot of us make a rookie mistake and have only one which makes it hard for the ones lower on the pecking order to get food and a drink.

When I first got chickens, I had a 5 gallon waterer fail and leak in the middle of August in the Texas heat. When I got home from work and realized they had no water, I was devastated. Thankfully, I had no losses but immediately got several waterers after that.
 
Just want to share an update on my little one. About two weeks ago her face started keeping some color wattles appeared to be coming in also laid her first confirmed egg. She is officially now a big girl. Her egg was a monster it's far left of the line up and was a double. Now confirmed all eight of our ladies are laying since Nov 15th price per egg is down to about $21.00 per.
