Here are some more...what would you call these colors, and what would you suspect is the breeding? The first picture is of 4 siblings about 12 weeks old. They came out of a hatching of 6; 2 bronzish, 1 gray, and 3 whitish poults. The gray and one white did not survive. The man I bought them from claimed they were going to be blue slates, but I saw a picture of the tome he looked just like the red slate on Porter's site; and the poults seemed to initially imply red slate breeding results. But, now my light colored hens seem to have a more palm look to them. One has black and tan markings, the other gray and tan. Any guesses?
Closer on the gray and tan hen
