Old English Game Bantam, probably.

Is she a grey hen or a bb red you think?

Where did you get it? The leg color is wrong for an OEGB. Definitely some type of game and the coloring seems to be black breasted red. I would wonder about her being American Game, although I believe they're supposed to have slate legs rather than her willow. @Gray Farms , do you know more about gamefowl leg colors?

I got a straight run from tractor supply early April.Her legs are skate that’s what’s throwing me she she looks bbt oegb but has different color legs her twin that got killed had same color legs also.

Slate

I was raised on a game fowl farm and can identify the large needs of game fowl, just not bantams .

I would think Black Breasted Red Dutch Bantam. Tractor Supply often goes through Hoover who does not carry them, but today a member said they got some through TSC from Privett Hatchery. They do carry them, but call them Yellow Partridge. From my reading, Dutch Bantams should have slate legs (at first they looked willow to me in the lighting).

I’d like to agree with you I was leaning that way,I thought they were jungle fowl then back to oegb then they started looking a lot like the Dutch then they all but her got killed.

I was thinking the same thing too! I was debating on if they would be sold as bantams and Privetts categorizes them differently, so I leaning away from that option. I'm sorry for your loss
