I agree...that was my first thought, too.

New Hampshire

She must be New Hampshire, my RIR has no black on the tail feathers

Really? The exibition Rhode Island Reds I've seen all had black in their tails. They were at APA sanctioned shows.

I would say New Hampshire Red or a Buff/RIR cross....but she is a pretty bird

It wouldn't me. I've had mixed fowl come out of a hatchery.

He's got five toes on each foot, pink skin with a grey overtone, bay colored eyes, a crest, a walnut comb, and a few of his babies (when he bred to a silkie hen) will be silkie feathered.

That would be a blue barred color if it didn't have the red leakage.
barred x splash = blue barred.

I have a RIR cock and he has black tail feathers (so black they are a shiny green)...but RIR feathers are a much deeper red than the chicken in question in this post. New Hampshire's have a little bit lighter red to their feathers. Sometimes RIRs do not have black in their tail feathers, but the two I've had do (cocks, that is, not pullets); however, on the MyPetChicken.com site it shows RIRs WITHOUT black tail feathers, and they are even a DARKER red, so maybe there is some mixing somewhere in my cock's breeding lines.

New Hampshire red.

I've had NHR hens. They are definitely the orangey red of your girl there. Does she have some black ticking in the hackles, too? Can't tell. NHs usually do.
