I was told as a child she was a Comet hen (12 yrs old) I'm 24 now I've only worked with rescuing chickens or rescuing those with medical issues
 
That is not a RIR. She looks like she could be and EE. EE don’t have to have muff or lay green or blue eggs, they can lay white, tan or brown also. EE are a mixed chicken.
Your hen could also be just a mixed breed. Your hen looks to have several mixes down the line to get her, so it will be hard to tell exactly what she is mixed with.
 
Golden Comets are just production hybrids. They have been around since the 1950’s and can be called several different names depending on the breeder. Hatcheries have more fine tuned the production breeding now (usually RIR x white rock), but I know at least where I grew up “Golden Comet” was used to describe any production mutt mix. That’s what she looks like to me a production mutt. Definitely not buff Orpington cross. People essentially use the term “Easter egger” the same way to describe blue egg laying mutts.
