Is he blue?? I can't tell in the pictures at all. I do agree he's birchen. What do you think about the other hen? What does e+/E^R look like? Could it lead to something like this?

He looks more gray than black to me, which is why I said blue. The other hen does look like maybe a duckwing x birchen cross? She looks duckwing without the autosomal red, so she could be a second generation color cross. More pictures will definitely help.

That's what I was thinking with the hen. Wondering if she were possibly the daughter of the previous two. You definitely could be right and he's silver blue rather than silver birchen. It's just hard to tell in that picture. I am excited to see more!

They're Old English Game Bantams. You have some interesting colors for sure. This is the only duckwing bird and she appears to fawn silver duckwing. She is what I think is leading to the light colored chick.

I've never had or seen game bantams before so I'm so lost but I love them! One hen is more salmon colored but I'll get better pictures tomorrow!

They're beautiful! The one with the salmon brest is either silver or fawn duckwing! Better pictures of all will help

Ok here's some more pictures! The rooster is brown chested with silvery gray feathers... The first hen is the same, brown body and silvery gray neck and head ... The hen with the chick has a salmon chest, light brown wings and silvery neck, her chick is just a creamy off white color... Hope this helps!

Wow, looks like they all have a single copy of the dun gene! The rooster is a fawn mix, and the hens are both fawn silver duckwing. The chick is probably khaki. @pipdzipdnreadytogo might have some pictures of fawn silver duckwings to compare.

So is that good? Bad? It doesn't really matter to me I just enjoy them and are curious, they are the first bantams I've ever had !

It’s up to you to decide if it’s good or bad, I was just surprised to see that they’re fawn, as that’s a rarer color!

Oh well that's cool! I like hatching chicks and one day I'd like to sell them so it's nice to know I have something rare! I just hatched out 2 lavender Orpington x silky and so far they look lavender which I think is uncommon... Too early to tell so I can't wait to see how they turn out too!

If you do sell the OEGB chicks, make sure to mention that the father is most likely a mixed color/project color
