She looks like a Breda Fowl to me. Only combless breeds are born without combs, in other breeds they're just small... so yeah, Breda Fowl.

There's a pic of one. Found it on rarebreedauctions.com.

Also, I have no experience with Bredas but I know some about them, but most hens start laying at 5 to 6 months. Mine started laying a week apart, and they were just about to turn 5 months old. I have a Marans and a Barred Rock.

on your pic the one has feathers on the leg... mine doesn't...
should she have that?
do all breda fowls have hairy legs lol

3 months is WAY too young to lay eggs! Most breeds start around 25-30 weeks, aka 6 months.

those are great news
are the eggs brown ?

 

[Marbleeeh]

All Bredas /should/ have feathery legs, but I guess some don't make the standard.
I'm pretty sure that they're the only chickens without combs. So she could be a breda mix.

They lay tinted to brown eggs.
