What breed is this?

quite a large bantam, completely pure white, naked yellow legs and a pink rose comb. She’s about 5/6 months old and believed to have just started laying. Quite sweet and honks instead of clucks. I thought it was a Wyandotte rooster for a long time but after finding some larger eggs in our boxes and not being at all roosterish, I’m not sure

I've had hens that cluck and honk in the morning for different reasons. But they made both sounds. Concerning the breed, I've had this issue once. I bought a chick from Big R that was yellow with a slight red tint. I requested Buff Orpington, but it grew red feathers. That was when I posted the pick and got some good responses. Someone posted a pick of a sex link they raise and it matched mine. A few months latter, I was looking at Cackle Hatchery website and the breeds they have. One matched my sex link hen perfectly. It was then I had discovered the true breed.

Maybe you can find matching pictures on a hatchery's web site. It would be an effective way to find solid answers and learn more about the breed.

Here he is. He was hatched from week old refrigerated bantam eggs. He's a mix of Silver Duckwing Phoenix, & D'uccle.
 
She really did grow quite a lovely comb, looking at her earlier pictures you could see she was going to be unique but wow! Sort of reminds me of a rose bud about to bloom. :)

I just went back to have a look and yeah, in 6 weeks it’s unrecognisable. It seems to have just jumped out in the last two though. It’s like a coral

Coral would be a great name for that comb type! I've never seen anything quite like it.
What does is say about her breeding? Maybe some Buttercup in the lineage?
