I’m new to owning chickens and i’ve had a hard time figuring out what breed this hen is. We’ve had this hen for about a year now. She has black feathers on her head and necks and brown/black feathers along her body with black tail feathers. She also has feathers on her legs. (im assuming she has a single comb but i’m not quite sure how to tell). I’m also assuming she’s a mutt. Any help would be appreciated! :) (also I think she’s laying brown eggs but it’s hard to tell who lays what eggs)

Thank you!! If only her personality would match her prettiness 😅 she’s kind of boring and doesn’t really seem interested in me at all like my other hens are. at least she makes some big yummy eggs😂😋
 
Looks like she could have some Crested Cream Legbar in her, so depending on what that's mixed with, she could be an olive egger. Do you get any green or olive eggs from your flock?
Actually I think you’re right! I do get olive eggs but I thought those were from my light brahma, but after doing a little searching I think my brahma is laying the brown eggs and she’s laying the olive eggs. 😅
 
She looks like if Scar from The Lion King were a chicken! Lovely black mane. :gig

Seriously, pretty girl you got there.
