Here is my beautiful, unusual girl. This photo has not been altered in any way - this was taken today, and the surface she is on is a recycled asphalt.
Farm camouflage.
Her beak, comb, and legs are a dark steel grey.
She is supposedly a high production blue/green layer, and I bought a batch of them at a week old. Most of them are roosters, and all but one of them is grey. None of the other birds I bought has a black comb or beak, but they are handsome nonetheless.
I'm wondering what you can tell me about her coloration, what it is called, and how to reproduce it? I know nothing about chicken genetics, so I'm happy to hear the basics.
Here are a few of the roosters that came with her:
