I have a normal male green and female blue parents and they gave me two offsprings 3 weeks old. The one is normal green. The other one is mostly yellow with black marks. Will it get green or will it stay yellow? How is that possible? Thanks in advance everyone.

Hello
We don't really have any genetics experts here at the moment, which is why your query wasn't answered.
The colour of chicks depends on parents, and the grandparents and other things which I am unsure about!

Your normal green (yellow base colour) probably was split for some recessive mutation, the blue has a white base colour and who knows what else lurking. Unless you know the full parental bloodline, you really have a "box of chocolates" ... you never know what you might get.
