Gamefowl Breeding question

I know what a red sexlink would look like crossed to lacy roundhead but not a cross with a gold laced wyandotte. @NatJ will probably know

The body type of the crossed chicks will probably be similar to what you mention, since Red Sexlinks and Wyandottes have similar body types.

The rose comb of the Wyandotte is caused by a dominant gene, so probably rose combs in the chicks.

I don't know about gamefowl, so I don't know what color a lacy roundhead would have. A few guesses:

If the rooster has any pattern of red and black, there is a good chance of the chicks showing partial lacing (not as nice as the lacing on a pure Wyandotte), in colors of gold or red, and black.
Maybe something like the one in this post:

If the rooster is solid black, expect solid black chicks.
If the rooster has white, expect some white in the chicks (Silver turns gold into white, Dominant White turns black into white, both are dominant genes so they would probably show in the chicks.)
If the rooster shows blue or chocolate, expect that color in some of the chicks.
 
Most "roundheads" I have seen are wheaton.
I have only seen BBR
Either of those, bred to a Gold Laced Wyandotte, might produce chicks that are colored something like the Rhode Island Red/Wyandotte mix I found in another thread:
https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/what-do-you-do-with-extra-eggs.1621100/#post-27806330
But they might have a lighter gold shade, instead of the dark red/brown of the example I found, and that would make the black markings more obvious.
 
On male side it is hard for me to distinguish BBR wildtype from wheaton.

I successfully crossed a wyandotte roo with my green leg American Game Fowl and have 7 ladies whom lay eggs occasionally, not regularly.. like their mama. When they do, they are small white eggs like mama as well. When they lay, they build a clutch and go broody. Hard broody. One of them sat on a nest 2.5 months, even when I removed the eggs while she got up to poo/eat/drink real fast. She just made up her mind and stuck with the plan. Interesting birds I tell you.
