What breed is this? White Leghorn, Old English, or something else?

This girl is a rescue we saved after she fell off the back of a truck. A friend saw it happened and called us, and she’s been with us since. She has now had chicks so we are hoping to know her breed. Thoughts?

she lays white eggs! part of the reason i thought she may be a leghorn is because i’m pretty she fell off an industrial truck.
Hmmm I’ve looked at many breeds who lay white eggs and this is a tough one! Shes too tan for a white leghorn but too white for a brown leghorn. Maybe she’s a hybrid that has part leghorn in her. I added a picture of my hen who is a brown leghorn and Rhode Island Red hybrid.

I don’t think so only because I read that they are docile and calm, and this hen has always been a little frantic and sometimes aggressive
I think its a mix between a white leghorn and a buff orpington. Because that will explain the behavior and the color. and also the comb seems to me like a leghorn type of comb and her body is small and slender like a leghorn. so clearly she has the body and behavior of a leghorn. But you said she hatched chicks, so that is from the buff orpington and the color is too.
