If she carries the dun gene she'd show it, and look like an odd brownish blue, which then her chick would look identical to her. If not, that's just a light blue. It appears from here that it has a brown cast to it, but, you'd be the better judge. Very neat looking chicks though. Are they Oriental x American?

Question, I got a red (BBR), gypsy faced, black legged red game hen. Anyone know of a strain of american that you might find these combos on the same fowl?

Gypsy faced BBred? I've never seen one truthfully. Gypsy faced brown reds? It could be one of probably hundreds.

I couldn't pin point a specific strain that would hold true to these characteristics, probably a mix of strains.

I had a black roundhead hen bred to a BBR cock that produced stags similar to what you're describing. Gypsy faced, black legged, BBRs.

But out of this same mating a brown red looking stag emerged, also gypsy faced. I'm taking a wild guess and leaning toward a brown red cross.

Some strains like Leipers and McCleans (which have brown red in them) are known to have a black ring around the eyes giving the appearance of being dark in the face. But not gypsy.
