Need help with this OEGB color

[ZooMummzy]

I've looked at endless photos of OEGB's it seems but I cannot find any definite information regarding the color of this chick. One site said it was a blue but on another site, the "blue" chick was much darker (more the color of blue I'm used to). I was hoping someone could help me out since I am rehoming this little guy and I'd like to be able to give an accurate description of his coloring other than just "gray OEGB". I hatched him and an identical pullet from eggs I received from Pamperedpoultry in January so I know they are true OEGB's.

Thanks in advance!

My name is Quinn, I'm 6 weeks old....what color am I???

It almost looks porcelain- but sometimes colors have different names depending on the breed. I'm not too familiar with games.

I think a porcelain

I was thinking that too, but I haven't been able to find a photo or even a listing for a porcelain game

Since I'm learning the breeds as I go, I wanted to get in on this thread as well!

I don't think it's porcelain, because it's solid, no faint mottled coloring in the feathers. I would say blue, but be aware that "blue" can manifest in different degrees. If you knew what the parents were, you could say for sure. They don't all always come out real blue, although the breeding would be aiming for blue. JMO

Thank you journey. I didn't know that about the blue coloring. I don't know the parents though I could ask pamperpoulty. The eggs were just marked OEGB so I'm not sure if she really knew. I think I will go with blue on the listing and leave it at that! Makes me almost want to keep the pair and see what colors I'd get?

Thank you so much for all the help!! Anyone want a blue OEGB?

The only thing I can think of is Self Blue, it is not Porcelain

Thank you chickenlover. I have a porcelain EE and she doesn't look anything like this color. It is hard to bring out the color in the photos due to lighting, but it's a really silvery gray. They have been this color since they hatched.

i would say self blue i think self blue is different from regular blue cuz the chicks just get lighter and lighter blue down the generations but idk i just have 3 self blue oegb and they dont have feathers yet i just got from random hatchery order
