The California Grey is an American breed of domestic chicken. It was developed in California in the 1930s by Horace Dryden in Modesto, California. His aim was to produce a dual-purpose chicken that was both suitable for meat production and laid large white eggs. By crossing a Barred Plymouth Rock rooster and a White Leghorn hen, a naturally autosexing breed with gray barred plumage (as adults) was produced. Largely because the breed was never recognized officially for exhibition by the American Poultry Association, The California Grey is a rare breed in the twenty-first century.
