Dark grey comb and wattle...what breeds?

sounds like the gypsy face trait. It darkens the face only, no effect on body skin otherwise. Different from the whole body dark skin as on cemani or silkies.

Normally roosters lose the darkness and turn bright red when mature. Some hens may keep it, some don't.

Only sumatras are a breed with a standard calling for it. Other than that it's more or less random and usually on black, mostly black chickens of any breed/mix but it can show on a few other colors such as lavenders.

Here she is....and I stand corrected. Her wattles are small & red, but the comb is very very small and IS grey. The soles of her feet are grey, with some yellow areas. You can see her yellow toe on her right foot in the 1st pic. What breed has yelllow on the bottom side of their feet? The pics aren't that great and don't show her comb, as she is very flighty. Everytime I tried to get near her, she would scoot away. Could someone tell me what I possibly have? The pictures seem to show some puffiness under her eye, but it is the poor quality camera that I have.

It's beautiful whatever breed it is. I have one similar about 10 weeks old and don't know what it is. Any idea? This is one of four of my first chickens
