The male looks like a cobalt blue dominant pied. The female looks like a green recessive pied. They're both beauties.

THanks again....do you know what kind of babies I could expect if they were bred....sorry for the double posting. I think this is a more appropriate place to post it

Assuming that I'm right .. and assuming that they don't have hidden genes.. that could show in their offspring. It would be 50% green dominant pied and 50% normal green. All babies would be split to blue and recessive pied.

 

Green is dominant to blue, but if your hen was split to blue (like if one of her parents was blue) you could get some blue chicks. Also, if your cock was split to recessive pied that could show in the chicks.

 

One thing I'm not too clear on :: Because the male is a dark shade of blue would that affect the shade of green of the chicks? Would they be darker green? Someone else can probably answer that.

thank you so much. one day I'll be able to let you know if you were right or not....but so far it sounds good to me

yep that's all right

 

But of cuase there always seems to be hidden genes all the time.
