Hen-light green, has blue tail Cock-YF Cobalt, has blue tail All the babies have purple cheek patches and blue tails Here are some pics Budgie 1(green one) is he a YF Cobalt as cock is? Budgie 2-is this a Cobalt? have found over the weeks that he has purply tinge around his neck and above his tail Budgie3- is she a light green hen as the hen? she has alot of yellow on her cap and extending down the back into her wings Link to comment

Depends what the parents were. If both were green/blue then there is a chance that the green babies could have 2 green genes. Link to comment

The yf2 cock must be single factor, to have produced blue chicks. so he could have given either one to the green chicks. You won't know unless you breed them when they grow up. Link to comment
