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.
