    Brown leghorn or welsummer? Or a cross?

    I just bought this hen and was told she's a rose comb brown leghorn. But she lays brown eggs with speckles. So is she a different breed? Or a cross? Thanks for all your help!

    Total newbie to chickens here! We rescued a wyandotte hen that was dropped off at a small pond near our house. Upon bringing her home, we built her a coop and she seems to have settled in nicely.
