The spangle hen x the green pied.

 

Spangle hens mum looked like her the dad looked like the male I'm pairing her to.

From that pairing I got her, a green spangle pied sister and a blue R pied.

 

Green pied I didn't breed and don't know what his parentage was.

 

What colours should I expect?

I'm hoping for more like her sister which I unfortunately lost to rats at the last place I lived.

So you are pairing a green pied cock to a blue opaline spangle hen.

 

If we assume the male is not split blue then

 

100% of the chicks will be green - as for other mutations

 

25% will be normal green chicks

25% will be green spangle pieds

25% will be green spangles

25% will be green pieds

 

All will be split blue.

 

 

If the cock is split blue

 

12.5% will be normal green chicks

12.5% will be green spangle pieds

12.5% will be green spangles

12.5% will be green pieds

12.5% will be normal blue chicks

12.5% will be blue spangle pieds

12.5% will be blue spangles

12.5% will be blue pieds

 

Of course, if Dad is secretly split to cinnamon and/or opaline, that throws extra data in.

All chicks will be opaline, you'll get some opaline spangle, some opaline pieds, some opaline spangle pieds and depending if the cock is split or not depends if they're all all green or some blue :)
