Guess she could be a cross bred with a Welsummer. It's VERY RARE to have a chicken with white earlobes lay brown eggs.

BTW.... the eggs in that picture were NOT all laid by the same hen.

Partridge Penedesenca? I thought they had gray legs, but what do I know?

Penes are known for laying really dark eggs, yet having white earlobes.

Its not a purebreed that is in the standard it looks like a hatchery Leghorn, there is someone that has made blue egg laying brown leghorns that are bred to standard

Do you have a current picture of the hen in question? Which egg(s) are her's? I agree that she is most likely a cross, probably some type of production cross. It is not rare for a chicken with white earlobes to lay brown eggs or red earlobes to lay white eggs. That is just in many pure breeds to go by the earlobe color, but there are even some of these that don't go by the "rule".
