I would imagine those with blues and yellow/blues would seen some silver young, whether they make it to the perch is another matter.
Im keeping my fingers crossed for mine.

I'm not sure but she has four juvenile babies at the moment but their definatly not silver, but from what I know I'm guessing she's not split to blue.

To get silvers you would need either
DFYB/blue cock x YB/blue hen
or
SFYB cock/blue x YB/blue hen
or
BB cock x YB/blue hen
There are some other pairings but some of those you would already need to have a silver bird. You can do reverse gouldian colours here,

Yes there are several where you can enter in the colours of the gouldians you have and see what colour the young could be, I use the Carlos Matos mainly as you dont have to on the net to use it.
The reverse genetics is useful when you want to breed a specific coloured bird, that site tells you which colour birds you need to pair together.
