I looked into it more, and I suspect that she is heterozygous for e^b (brown)/E^R (birchen)
As 3 day chicks all of the barnies looked e^b... Birchen chicks don't have the cute little stripes
However dark body, base colored neck is a big birchen trait, and when it is heterozygous you can get a lot of bleed through of the base color in the body.
If her chicks end up being an even mix of looking like her sisters and looking like her the that will likely prove it out hahaha
