The Scots Grey is a dual-purpose breed of domestic chicken originating in Scotland, where it has been bred for more than two hundred years.[5] It was formerly known as the Scotch Grey and until about 1930 was popular in Scotland.[1] It is on the "Native Poultry Breeds at Risk" list of the Rare Breeds Survival Trust.[6]
