I'm not an expert by ANY means, but maybe a barnevelder?

Does have sort of barnevelder coloring but they have a single comb. I do have a barnie that I like very much but doubt this one is.

She could be a Buckeye x Wyandotte cross, but I think she is a poor quality Blue Laced Red Wyandotte.

BTW, I hope you are wrong since all my Wyandottes go broody constantly. My blue one was broody in January.

Very pretty bird whatever she is! I wonder if the breeder they got the eggs from is working on a "project"? Maybe Black Laced Red Wyandottes? I can't tell if it's pea or rose combed for sure by the photos. It very well could be a Buckeye.

It's possible - the person I got her from specializes in rarer breeds like Cream Legbars, Olive Eggers, Appenzeller Spitzhauben, French copper Marans and a lot of other breeds I can't pronounce. I have sent her an email with a pic but no response yet.

Black Laced Red Wyandottes

Black Laced Red Wyandotte is just the result of Blue Laced Red not breeding true.
When you breed two blues, you get blue, black, and splash.

The red arrow is pointing to lacing

That's actually not lacing. It's a form of shafting which often occurs in badly bred wild type chickens. This bird is wild type, which can be proven by the chipmunk stripping on the chick in that picture of when it was younger

Well, I like her anyway - and even if she is a "wild" type, she eats from my hand.

She is indeed rose combed....that throws me off a little, but I'm still thinking Buckeye in spite of the inconsistency.

No no silly, wild type doesn't mean they are literately wild birds, it means their genetic coloring is based on the wild type gene

Sorry about the confusion
