That is definitely a blue. Grey is vedry different--the feathers are patterned like partridge.

thanks! i'm a bit colorblind, so sometimes the blues/grays even on paper or something can look the same to me, i just have to go off of what others tell me.

LOL No she is blue. My blue orps bleach to a gray looking bird with ranging out in the sun daily.

just so you know, "blue" is a terminology thing, used for differentiating between various types/shades of grey animals. the birds in real life look basically grey, albeit cool-toned grey, but it's not like they're royal blue or anythin

so don't worry about being color blind, it's just a matter of not knowing the "proper" term to describe what you've got. kinda like how horse people could tell you what the difference between sorrel/chestnut/bay is, but me being a layperson, i'd call 'em all brown.
