Dusting would be for mites/lice. Grey is blue. I'm sure you can google show basics

Grey is NOT blue! Grey is Grey, and is a recognized color. Here are some pics to get an idea. https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=416070

the color "Grey/Gray" is also called Silver partridge - it is a mix of grey and silver tones...I am sure me or someone else will get you guys some pictures of "andalusian blue" ( ' normal blue' ), Lavender (Self blue) - also a recognized variety now, and Grey.

Its so wild the variances. I love the different ones, but its hard keeping track of them.

This is a BLUE - one of the many shades of blue - this is close to "standard" color preference

Rooptydoo 's bird - page 1 this thread

SPLASH - belongs to ELITE SILKIES - picture off of Page 1 of this thread Splash birds come from Blue X Blue birds breeding or Blue X Splash birds breeding. a splash is a double dose of the blue gene and is diluted. Beautiful birds...

a GRAY - belongs to DONNA MCCORMICK on a thread just for gray silkies - Gray breed true, Gray X Gray will give you ONLY gray birds. (or should atleast) Gray also comes in many 'shades' but this breeder Donna McCormick - has THE BEST of the best grays out there.

Another shade of gray that belongs to Donna McCormick
