What breed is this hen?

Hi! I’m new to chickens. My son brought home this hen and I’m curious what breed it is. Thanks!

What type of comb does she have? I can't quite tell.

Initially I would say lavender orpington, but they have white legs. The color with the yellow legs is interesting.

Can you get a pic of her comb. She is shaped and feathered like an orp but her yellow legs could mean cross or a wyandotte.
She is banded, so if you know where he got her that may be a clue. Also the band will need to be removed before it gets too tight. (I don't mean to be condescending, just letting you know in case you are new to chickens.)
She is very pretty. I'm jealous.

I think she has a rose comb. She was brought home with two Wyandotte hens Gold laced/silver laced. She is larger than them. I will get the band off her.

She's a lavender Wyandotte.... which I think is somebody's project breed. Its not one of the standard colors for wyandottes, I don't believe.

Thanks for your help

Yep, she's a Lavender Wyandotte. Her leg band is fine. There's no need to remove it. She's done growing so the legband won't become too tight. If you want to breed her to have more Lavenders, I'd recommend breeding her to a Black Wyandotte cockerel, to create spilt Lavender offspring, or if you can contact the breeder he got her from, breed her to a Lavender split now (visually black), in order to produce Lavenders and splits.

I've never seen a lavender Wyandotte before. She's really beautiful!!!

I have a picture of a Silver-laced Lavender Wyandotte that is simply phenomenal. I'll have to see if I can find it.
