What breed is this hen?

Thanks for your responses everyone! Here are a few more photos of her.
She was purchased from a hatchery...but we dealt with the owners young daughter (early teen age) and she wasn't too sure of her breed. Her eggs are a very light brown colour. When she is laying we usually get an egg 6 out of 7 days. Thanks again! :)

IF we could get a pic of her comb, please ... At this point guessing a Splash Wyandotte (Skipper81) but can't make out her comb.

Does this help?

I lean towards Skipper's suggestion.
Wyandotte (red/splash) and/or golden comet seem likely.
However, that is a pure matter of opinion on my part.
There are others here who'd know better than I. :)

Thanks! You'd know way better than me :)
 
Single comb. I first thought she was a second generation Red Sexlink. But if she direct from the hatchery she about has to be a first generation Red Sexlink. But I've not seen one patterned quite like this one. It may be correct though depending on what breeds the hatchery used for the crossing.
 
That's a pea comb. I think it has to be a cross. There are SO many dual purpose crosses out there but I can't think of one that has a pea comb. So, this may be an accidentally made cross or the result of running a variety of birds together. Might be part red laced Cornish? The description of dealing with a teen at the hatchery makes me think this is basically a farmer selling chicks.
