Hi Ahsanmeer, I think it would be hard to know what the outcomes would be from those pairs, unless you knew something more about the hens. Since neither cock is an ino, you won't get any ino chicks, unless the cocks are split to ino. (You will be able to know, though, that any male chicks will all be split to ino.) 1. Greywing + lutino hen: All green chicks, unless the lutino hen is split to blue. All the chicks will be split to greywing, but there won't be any visual greywing chicks unless the lutino hen is masking or split to greywing. (Do you know if any of her parents was a greywing?) 2. Normal Green + lutino hen: Again, all green chicks, unless both parents are split to blue. The chicks might all be normals, but if you have no idea what the hens are masking, then you could be surprised by things like dominant pied or spangle. And there is also the possibility that the parents could be split to recessive mutations, or that the cocks could be split to sex-linked mutations. So even though it appears on the surface that you will get all normal green chicks, it is still wide open for unkowns.
