What kind of chicken is gray?blue orp?****updated with pics****

I was wondering if he was possibly a blue orp?

Doesnt look like it from the body type. Blue Orpingtons are fairly rare. You'd be very lucky if someone gave you some of those eggs! Could be a cross like Matt said. Nice blue though.

Very pretty birds, but they do lack the Orpington type.

It doesnt' really matter what they are, it's more for curiosity. The roos can't stay cuz I am keeping a Ameraucana roo for my hens. If they could get along I would put all the boys together and let them free range during the day. It would be better than someone putting them in the fryer

. I personally can't cull them, my kids would hate me forever. I am trying to find a happy medium and "try" to make everyone happy. The kids know they will go once they start fighting. There is the one alpha and the rest know it. He is the blue that is in the bottom pic and looking at me suspicously in the second

I think they're most likely barnyard mixes... but the blue sure is pretty
