This one is so cute! I'm curious to see how its color turns out when it matures. 

Me too!

What kind of comb is this?

Looks like a pea comb.

Kind of wide for a pea comb at that age . I will guess cushion comb . Which is pea and rose together . I could be wrong . Time will tell .

So, the hen that had a comb like this one was missing that little dent in the middle at this stage. Hers eventually got tall and a little bumpy/rippled looking but nothing resembling rows. In pictures I'm looking at, it most resembled a "strawberry" comb. I just called it a rose-pea for lack of a proper term but I think genetically that is what it's made of? I don't entirely understand how there are so many looks from the same combination but I'll be darned if I can see any hint of a row in this chick's comb.

Interesting development you have there so how old is this chicken ?

This one is not quite 2 weeks. It's just the second one I've gotten from the same source that was both silver and had this type of comb. I found a close-up of the previous one in the chick stage. I think she was 5-6 weeks here:

And just for fun because she really was a weird and gawky chick but ended up a beauty:
