Hey guys just a random question what colour head offspring can you get if you breed a red headed split to blue cock to a black headed split to blue hen?
Both purple breasted ive had someone tell me that offspring might come out grey headed is this true? Cheers
Gouldian head colour

Gray heads are usual in yellow back birds. The gene that changes the green to yellow also changes the black head to gray.

Or if they are both split to yellow things could get interesting.

Red as it’s dominate or a dark red if spilt to black. Could also get black but a grey colour if the back of the bird is yellow. Hope it helps
