That's good to know--but when do they start to develop any sign of a comb at all? I'm not trying to argue, or anything, but as I said before, the buff orps seem to have had some sign of a comb since day one--all of them had some kind of ridge there of varying size. There seems to be no comb development at all on this little bird. What signs should I be looking for? I know I might seem to be hard-headed to some people who are reading, but I really am trying to learn . . .

Araucanas have a pea comb--it is significantly difference in appearance than the single comb common to many breeds, including orps.

Here is a photo of my silver duckwing araucana hen--she turned 6 last February:
