Golden Olive IRN are also known as Cinnamon Greygreens. Cinnamon is a sex-linked mutation so you are right.
Grey IRNs are blue series birds whose inheritance is a combination of Dominant Grey and Recessive Blue.
Possible pair offsprings? Let me give this a shot as I am still learning IRN genetics myself:
Grey x Cinnamon Greygreen
Males:
25% GREEN/blue/cinnamon
25% GREY(df)GREEN/blue/cinnamon
50% GREYGREEN/blue/cinnamon
Hens:
25% GREY(df)GREEN/blue
50% GREYGREEN/blue
25% GREEN/blue
So to make a long story short, 75% of the chicks will look GREYGREEN and 25% will look GREEN.
df = double factor (2 alleles carrying the Grey color trait)
Any seasoned breeders out there feel free to correct me.
