Can anyone help me with breeding outcomes? I currently have a olive recessive pied cock and a opaline cobalt hen wondering if anyone can point me to possible outcomes. I am not so great with the punnet square chart.

Can anyone help me with breeding outcomes? I currently have a olive recessive pied cock and a opaline cobalt hen wondering if anyone can point me to possible outcomes. I am not so great with the punnet square chart.
Olive Recessive Pied Cock x Opaline Cobalt Hen:
Color: all chicks will be green unless the cock is split to blue, that is, carrying the recessive blue gene. If he is, then @ 50% of the chicks will be blue. Either way, green chicks will be olive or dark green, but not light green. If there are blues, they will be mauve or cobalt, but not sky.
Opaline: all chicks will be normal (not opaline) unless your cock is split to opaline. If he is, @ 50% of the chicks of both sexes will be opaline.
Recessive pied: all chicks will be normal unless your hen is split to recessive pied. If she is, then @50% of chicks will be pied.
Unless you know something about the parents of this pair, the other possibilities are unknown and depend on whether your pair are split for any other recessive or sex-linked mutations, i.e. cinnamon, greywing, dilute, ino etc.
Also unknown is yellowface, which is dominant, but which is tricky to recognize on green birds since they are naturally yellowfaced.
