Cheek patch colour on Zebra hen - what does this tell me?

What does the colour cast on this pied Grey Zebra hen's cheeks tell me about her genetics? Does it mean she's carrying something else? (What?)

Just to show the contrast, my other Grey hens don't have visible cheek patches:

She also seems to have white pied flights. Red hens have slight patches like that. I have seen it before occassionally, but do not know what it means.
