Blue IRN male

[KSimi]

Hi there, I have a blue male indian ringneck of unknown parentage and have two options for a mate for him.

A grey female of unknown parentage
OR
A green female, from a blue father and yellow mother. What colour offspring are possible from these matings? Any help would really be appreciated.

From what I have been reading, I am guessing all the chicks from the blue x grey mating would be either blue or grey. The chicks from the blue x green mating would be blue, green or grey? Does anyone know if I'm on the right track?

if the green bird is split blue you will get green and blue babies if not split all babies will be green split blue

Interesting thankyou very much. I have seen greys hatch from a blue male, green female mating perhaps the female was a more specific shade of green maybe olive.

yes if it's a grey-green which looks olive green (darker than a normal green) and is split blue you will get grey babies grey is a blue series bird if you breed 2 single factor grey birds you will get blue and grey babies
