What bred is this gray beauty?

Does that mean she'd lay eggs of varying colors.. ie a brown one one day, a blue one the next? Or just one color so we'll just have to wait and see?

We currently have one Ameraucana, (blue eggs) and 2 Rhode Island Reds, 2 Black sex links, and two Buff orpingtons, (all varying shades of brown eggs).

it would be nice to see some more blue eggs

She could be an ameraucana but im not sure. Easter egger just means she will lay a coloured egg but not a different colour every day

No. Easter Eggers don't lay a different color each day. Egg color is determined by genetics. The name just means that the bird could potentially have the genes to produce any color egg. You don't know what color a pullet will lay until she actually starts laying. If that first egg is green, all of her other eggs will be green. If her first egg is brown, than the rest of her eggs will be brown. There is no way to tell, by looking, what color a pullet will lay.

Well here he is all grown up... He's a nice one. He hasn't started crowing yet. He's very timid. You can hardly get next to him.

I tried putting him and the black hen (that he came with) in the same enclosure as our established group. He just hides and the dominant hen just goes all nutty with the new girl. Any suggestions on incorporating these two with as little fuss as possible?

Integration takes time. As long as there is plenty of space and multiple food and water stations, they should get used to each eventually.

I've found integration goes better if you can pen them in view of each other for while. Then after they can see each other if you let them free range together they get used to each other (As long as they can get away from each other, if necessary.) After a while you may find them checking out each other's coops. I have several smaller grow out coops and my large main coop and by the time fall arrives moving everyone to the main coop is fairly easy. My flock consists of large fowl, including roosters bantams, and even ducks, although the ducks hang out together.
