BLUE PRINCESS PARROTS

[mrsmacka]

We have bred 3 blue Princesses from a blue cock & split to blue hen .
My question is --- as this combination has produced 2 blues & a green , which may be a hen, Will using the green hen with a blue cock give more chance of producing a larger number of blues in their clutch or doesn't it increase from the hen's side?
I hope I have put this well enough for you blokes to understand what I am trying to ask
thanx guys
Cheers Dennise

The hen you have bred will be also split to blue so if you put that with a blue it should give you a majority blue offspring, any greens from this pairing will be split to blue, probably the same ratio you are getting now.
