I initially thought this guy was grey green but at closer inspection and at comparison with other grey greens I'm not so sure.

Looks like a Recessive Pied cock to me, yellow and dark green for his body colour. :wub:

Hi Linda, from the photos there looks to be to much blue sheen on the feathers to be greygreen, maybe he is an olive or violet green. What colour are his tail feathers it is hard to tell in the photos.

Nice bird anyway :wub:

tail feather has been affected by the pied gene and so not useable to tell the difference.

 

cheek patchs are normal blue meaning he isn't grey-green. they don't appear dark enough for me to suit either olive or violet green. Which leaves us with dark green as the answer.

Lochlan - true but the cheek patches are still dark, normally darker than these ones
