Sure look like it. Not EY, black band on head. Not blue. Not dilute, head and bib normal. All that's left is sea green....

I have a few more that came out of blues to splits.And about another 6 normal looking birds that came from the normal looking parents.So now we know what they are I have a few more Questions. What would the normal green back parents be ( Hen dead).What do I do with them now ? Do they carry the blue gene aswell ? Do I breed them to blues ? Or Breed the sea greens to sea greens or splits ? Are they worth trying to continue breeding ?

Gommer all of the above,if they came out of a blue and a split,their all split blue.If you want to breed sea greens,breed sea greens but you will also breed blue young as well as both mutations are autosomal recessive.Or,just keep breeding them to blue bird to get blues and sea greens as there both nice looking mutations.

Does the sea green affect the blue colour - anyone tried? Breeding one of the daughters (who is split blue) back with dad (who is obviously split for sea green) would be interesting to see the results. If I've done my sums right 25% will be sea green blues....
