"gray" is a too general word for these different colorations !
Would be the same to say "black" for blue, Splash and lavender (self blue) birds.

gray is a apa regnised color there are many verations of gray just mater how is breeding them

SilverSilkie says in a couple posts back the he is from Belgium, not the US.

You could explain in that way but it not give the real vision.
They are indeed all "eb/eb" based on Silver but here there are also other color-genes concerned that affect the phenotype (= the physical appearance of the organism). So all these birds have a different genotype (= the genetic makeup of the organism).

Yes the "gray" are the Silver Partridge which have indeed several tonalities from very light to very dark (which are stipulated by "heterozygous" color-genes).
But they are determinated in other terms as Blue- or lavender-Silver Partridge and Quail in the birds I showed. There genetic-code is too different.

Yes, the contrast is sublime in the sunlight.
Is what I try to explore completely in my Silver-project.
