Her coloring is alot like my new Phoenix hens, but she is the same size as my EEs. Also looks alot like a Welsummer. But the comb looks all wrong for a Welsummer, and I'm pretty sure it's her who just started laying white eggs. Her earlobes are white. Any help?



The dark bird w/ gold head






Comb is little, like EE


 
I think as long as they don't get flowey and pointy you're safe?

(I looked for pics of my exchequer leghorns but all I could find was pics of them blowing in the wind - all their feathers were curved, lol!)
 
I have had many brown leghorns I'm pretty sure that's what she is
 
She's not pure leghorn, not with a comb that small, plus the leg color is off and the color isn't quite right. She also doesn't have the huge bold white earlobes of a pure leghorn. But, she's likely got leghorn blood and is probably your white egg layer.
