my question is:
I tell my 2 australorps and my 2 dominiques apart by looking mainly at their combs.
Will smaller combs stay smaller by comparison, when they get bigger?

I find that smaller combs will stay smaller in comparison when they get bigger. It's hard to say though. All my girls started with about the same sized combs, and now they vary in size from hen to hen. If they are laying though, their combs will stay about the same relative size between them. The main growth occurs at about 4-5 months old and stays around there.
