Although one thing I'll say is that I find it interesting that Cream Legbars have single combs. . . In the US if you see a single combed bird like this one, there is about a .0005% chance you're going to get a colored egg.

What about a Appenzeller Barthuhner mix. They have the little puffy heads like that. Plus they come in different colors to. Just a thought

No telling what she is, I think she looks like some miniature American gamefowl I saw which are grey toppies (hence the crest and blue legs/grey coloration.) Polish and brown leghorn wouldn't make her silver duckwing coloration I don't think. And the yellow or white legs from a leghorn should be dominant over the slate or blue legs of a Polish. As well as the V comb from the Polish would make a funky looking single comb I believe, or may even be V comb.

I say she is just a cross, can't tell as to what. Either way this thread is over three years old, I don't think it matters anymore

True

Maybe a Spitzhauben mix of some kind? I'm not really sure what a horn type comb is, but she's got a unique comb to her.

Looks like Dorking X Crested Breed, probably Polish.
