Hi there! So my girl bluey started laying eggs last week but her comb and wattles never turned deep red like her sister benni. I'm just curious, is it possible for a hen to start laying even though the comb and wattles aren't fully developed yet? They were this color pink from before she started laying as well. Her sister was nice and red like in the picture before she started 2 weeks ago. Bluey isn't acting sick and i have checked for mites and didnt see anything. She's also been laying an egg consistently every day. This is my first time raising chickens so I'm just hoping I'm worrying for nothing lol.

Thanks so much for any help!

It's definitely possible -mine did, and they still have small, pink combs and wattles (even though they're 3 years old now).
If she is otherwise fine, i wouldn't worry.
