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.
