Are you sure it is a rose comb and not a pea comb?

Pea combs are common in Easter Eggers and Olive Eggers. Both of those can have any feather color or combination of feather colors. They technically CAN have any comb type as well, but in practice almost all of them have pea combs or single combs rather than other types of combs.

Given the dark green ("olive") color eggs, I would probably call her an Olive Egger.
 
She is very personable and cackles alot....seems more independent, she's with my white brahmas

Thank you!!!
 
If you post some pics of your girl, the experts can give you an idea of what breed she possibly is.
I'm no expert but I'd guess Easter Egger.

Edit... Oops. Thought I was the first to respond. Slow typer.... 🙂
Thank you
