It all comes down to what you wish to produce.

 

If you want similar chicks, then you need to put him to a bird that is similar.

 

A female opaline will mean that both the males and females will be opaline. If you put him to a non-opaline female, then all the females will be opaline, but the males will only be split.

 

Do not pair him to a green based bird as you will end up with green birds, unless the green is split to blue, and even then you have a 50% chance of green. Same applies with a grey bird.

 

I think that you should pair him to a sky blue female. If you pair him to a bird with a dark factor, such as a cobalt or a mauve, then the young ones will be darker.

 

If it is a normal blue, then 50% will be normal blues, and 50% will be pieds.

 

If you pair him to a pied blue opaline female, then 50% will be pied, 25 % will be DF pied and 25% will be normals.

 

So ultimately, pairing him with something similar would be the best if you want to produce young that looked like him, and if you do that, then there is a 50% chance of them being her colouring.

 

What do you have available?
