Hi chris

I would say the one with lighter coloured cheek patches is silver but other one no looks bit like grey/cross!

you seem to get a lot of birds from your friends mate lately how many you got now in your collection of a wide variety of colours,

have you updated your posting on the thread (All Other Colours) which do you breed on the poll!

Looks like a silver lightback cock pair to any normal hen or lightback hen

The other looks fawn combo to me, maybe Isabel split

[zebba 'D']

if i was to put it to a fawn hen will i produce cream at all.
I no the mother to him was a normal grey, and think the father was a fawn or maybe it was a cream.

Mother or father would have to cream or silver for him to be bred
If father was a cock he could produce with any hen a cream hen offspring as he'd be split fawn

Hi Chris.
Yes for me is a gray pastel.
The other gray / brown can be. But the factor / expressed much.
