Anyone have this type of chinese?

That is your opinion, but the person who I bought the eggs haven't got any grey chinese, only browns and whites.
If you read all, you can see that other goslings have hatched with different colours when I painted them. I say that my goose is grey because of the charcoal because his brother, was painted but not to much, and have down with diferent colour. They greylags were painted too and the marks of the charcoal where on the down.
Thanks


White coloration is dominant to pretty much everything, so if the person you bought the eggs from has white birds, they could have anything floating around in them.

The sort of claims your making would need to be backed up with 4 or 5 generations (at a minimum) to even be reasonably sure this isn't just a pair of recessive genes colliding, and if you don't even own the parents, it's doubtful its anything but that.

Color is determined genetically in waterfowl - even if the charcoal could seep through the egg and dye the bird, it's first molt would be the correct color, not the charcoal.
 
Couldn't have said it better myself but the grey gene is always and only in brown Chinese that had a great grandfather or grandmother that was white or mixed colour but that grey colour on the gosling will turn near same as the normal browns as you will see.
 
A good example is i had a Brown Chinese crossed White Chinese goose which bred with my pure Brown Chinese gander and they had 5 babies and 3 were brown and 2 were more lighter and greyish but when they all grew up the two greyish goslings were just a bit lighter but not far from same colour.
But you can get Chinese that are bright grey in colour but are rare
 
I thought that was the charcoal because they have marks. This would be better explained in some weeks with Agus completly grow.
Thanks
 
The photos I promised:









Look at the grey, only has brown in the head and neck. The wings are completly grey with some white.
Thanks
