That hen looks like my hen Coal. She lays whites eggs with a brownish tint to them.

Pretty hen.

First she is a very pretty hen. She could be any of the breeds that everyone has stated, but I think she is crossed. I did a quick research on the different breeds this post thinks she is and to me the hen in question dose not have the large straight single comb that all of the mentioned breeds seem to have. But this is what I think, so I'm NOT saying that she is either or/neither nor. I am just saying I think she is a cross. I am curious to know what she really is too.

I believe that she is just very young, they do not usually get this large comb until about 6-8 monthes(sometimes longer), I doubt she a cross. Did you get her from a hatchery?

Not from a hatchery. From the local college farm center as a fertilized egg, along with her "sister" and "brother" eggs. My buff orpington Camilla hatched them all. People here on BYC I.D'd the girls as Lakenvelders or Lakenvelder crosses, same with one rooster and one white Minorca rooster and 2 Rhode Island Reds that I got from Agway. Talk about a mixed bunch! But I love them all.
