Would it be wrong to remove the hen once the youngest chick reaches two weeks or older and leave the cock (who is very good at rearing) to complete the job while the hen is used with another cock for her 2nd round (out of sight/hearing range) of the 1st cock.

Reader/lurker first time poster - first time breeder! Have a normal green cock and a lutino hen. 5 chicks, they are starting to feather up as they pass the 2 week old mark. I understand that should the cock not be split to anything, the baby cocks might be split to lutino and the hens will all be normal greens. However judging by the colours of the chicks so far, the cock appears to be split to blue. So in theory what are outcomes? Normal Green Hens and Noraml Blue Hens - niether split. I imagine the baby cocks could be normal, split for blue and/or split for lutino?
