Am I correct in saying that a grey green cock paired with a grey green hen will produce grey, grey green and blue chicks?

 

Thankyou.

Not necessarily.

 

If they are green series not split for blue, all you will get are SF grey greens and DF grey greens. Depending on the dark factor, you will get shade variances. But if you intend to on-breed these birds, you may soon be overrun with grey-greens as double factor grey-greens will only produce grey greens with other greens, and grey greens split for blue if paired to pure blues.

 

If they are BOTH SF grey green split for blue already, you will get some blues, some greys, some greens and some grey greens. If one or both are already DF grey greens split for blue, you will only get greys and grey greens.

Blue never comes from green series birds unless they are split blue

Do double factor grey greens look the same as single factor grey greens.

Couldnt tell you for sure as i dont have double factor greys (i know this from breeding), but as far as i know you cannot tell them apart. Just as you cannot visually tell a double factor green bird from a green bird split blue.

 

I dont think a second grey factor makes the bird any darker than a single factor. But i could be wrong!

I agree with what Dean has said

Double Factor Grey Greens look the same as a single factor. The only thing is that they throw all Grey Greens.

okay so maybe grey green to grey green isnt such a good pairing...

 

I have a few skyblues and greys i can pair with them

I have read that grey can take over your aviary and though it may be nice in the beginning you may not be able to get away from it.

It might take over in an aviary that are colony breeding but it can't take over if you have controlled cabinet breeding

Very true Neville
