What is she?!?!

I believe Lauren Kim nailed it.

No crest on her what so ever. Her comb is also a lot smaller than a brown leghorn....I'm new to chicken keeping so I'm not sure if that matters or not? LOL. I read that olive eggers tend to have a pea comb - but I'm sure there are exceptions.

Most folks in the US have EEs or Ameraucanas for the blue shell side of their OE mix so theirs will usually show pea combs as it's a dominant trait. For the dark brown, Pendesenca is not as common as Welsummer but it would explain the small stature and the lobes.

Your description, though, of a bunch of chickens running together makes me think the cross is chance and you just got very lucky.

Thanks! She is very flighty and nervous and also at the bottom of the pecking order unfortunately.

Cream legbar cross i have one a cross with a barnvelder she has no crest and lays a lovely green egg everyday

No clue but worth keeping for the olive eggs

My bet is a cream legbar possibly crossed to a welsummer. Essentially she is an olive egger. Initially I was going to say a brown leghorn with those white ear lobes but clearly not when she is laying such a beautiful olive egg. Lucky you! Pretty bird and gorgeous egg.... who could ask for more!
