Hello and hi new here, with my Orpington girls that are different

[Chikum Whisperer lvl 3]

Hello all my names Paul and have been raising my chikums for about 23 weeks, 2 americauna and 3 yellow buff Orpington if memory serves. Question is as follows, 2 buffs laying regular, almost 1 a day each or close it seems the last buff has almost no comb or waddles and has always been pale, grown at same pace but hasn’t matured? At the same pace? As well nothing from Americauna yet.

Welcome to Backyard Chickens. This is a great place to explore and hang out. Nice looking birds some take longer to lay.

I figured for the most part but the pale buff with no comb, is special, but wondered if it was a gene thing or rather than deficient in something as all my girls are extra cares for. Thanks!

Hello, and welcome to BYC. The non laying pullet appears to be in excellent condition. She is just slower maturing than the others.

Hello and welcome to BYC!

Buff Orps can take up to 26 weeks to be mature enough to lay. She will get there!

Best wishes with your flock!
