You are getting the cutest spotty chicks!
I just hatched some buffs from someone elses eggs and they are, well, buff, no spots on mine, but I dont raise them.
Here is a Grey chick and the Buffs for comparison.

They are partridge and buff. Buffs can be found both with and without stripes in the down as chicks.

Very nice grey!
 
They look partridge to me. My buffs never had defined stripes or polka dots on them. They are either clear buff when they hatch or can have a grayish color on the down on their backs. It is more smudgey looking and not like stripes at all.
 
Hmm, i didnt realize that but I did notice my buffs from Ideal didnt have black on there backs either.

I e-mailed the BYC'er I got these eggs from so lets see what he says about the colors and what pens these eggs came from. He had each egg marked but over time I have forgotten what was marked as what. I know one had a P on it one had a B on it and one had a 3 on it. So we shall see.
