Sorry I was confused by the terminology.
I thought "self" means a solid colored bird of one color.

Self blue means lavender. ;) I think she's self blue RP based on the picture, but without a good pic of her we can't tell for sure. As was mentioned, their would be darker spots of blue if she was blue/slate RP. I don't see any - she looks to be the same, light color where she has color.
 
I've have gotten two more eggs!! I'm so excited to see if they are fertile. I hope the rest of the hens start laying soon. Will they lay in the same place my one hen does? Or should I get nesting boxes for each?

Thanks much for the additional information.

I'm still learning. She doesn't have any dark spots or flecks. Having had other "blue" poultry and waterfowl this is so light grey I thought it might be a dilute/lavender. Another problem is people use terms like blue and lavender interchangableably so it gets confusing depending on who you are talking to.
