It sort of looks like a silver gray dorking, but clearly has 4 toes. Anyone have an idea?
 
The feather coloring looks a lot like our Brown Leghorns, Leghorns also have a bit bigger tail than usual for a hen. The yellow shanks are also a characteristic in Leghorns. If they are Leghorns, they will start to develop a larger comb that will lay to one side(in hens).

x2 I changed my mind. Now I think she's a Brown Leghorn. The yellow legs fit better...
 
If were talking about the one in back with the Silver Hackles then it looks closer to a Silver Leghorn.
 
Yeah you guys nailed it I think. Thank you!

My ornamental layer collection from McMurray is all identified now.

My flock:
1 Golden laced polish Rooster.
2 Silver leghorn hens
3 Easter egger hens
1 Dominique hen
1 Phoenix hen
2 Game hens
1 Golden laced Wyandotte
2 Lakenvelders
2 Egyptian Fayoumis

Maybe I can get some crazy cross breeds to hatch next spring.
