Is a tough one! without knowing the lineage of the birds and the fact that Sea Green is a mutation of the red face, the best I can calculate is 50% Normal colour carrying the Sea Green gene,25% Normal Red Face and 25% Pied. This is a very rough calculation as I said.Would help to know history.

All hens bred will be sea green, all cocks will be red face but split for sea green. Don't know what happens with the pied gene.

If only one parent is pied wouldnt the pied gene possibly be there in some of the young but not show?
