I've had this hen for a few years now and I'm curious what breed she might be. I bought her as a barnyard chick at a flea market and didnt know anything except the chicks were cute lol.

Shes white with little black spots, and white legs. Every egg I've hatched from her has been almost a clone of her.

What kind of comb does she have?

California white, white legbar.

if she doesn't have a single comb (and I cannot tell if its flopped over or if its a rose/pea or not....) if its a rose or a pea (Im bad at combs) its neither or a mix
 
Looks like just what she was supposed to be. A barnyard mix. And I'd say she has a few breeds in the mix
When a barnyard mix is white with black specks its almost always a white leghorn mix. They're one of the few white birds which are dominate white. One copy of that gene results in a white bird showing some specks or small patches.
She's has at least one rose comb gene. It's dominate so somewhere one of her ancestors was a rose comb breed. Could of been a RC WL but those are pretty rare.
White skin is dominate over yellow so somewhere there was a white skinned breed.
The combination of just those three things leads me to think she's more then just two breeds crossed.
 
Thank you for the answers, its helping me to be able to inform anyone who buys my chicks of what they might be getting :D
