They will NEVER be PURE Green or Blue again they will now become Spaldings, but some will lean more oneway or the other. When some folks say Pure Green others think Pure Muticus type birds and here we go again selling Spaldings as Pures.
Do note the "in theory" part there is a chance that the chick only took the green genes from each parent resulting in a green but the problem is than there are literally millions of genes so your chances of winning the lottery are higher. ALso there would be no way to tell unless someone mapped all the genes of green peafowl, which takes years even with a super computer, and then tested to check the DNA.

bird, the chances are astronomically low but it is theoretically possible. When the offspring are getting half of there DNA from each parent you do not know which half they are getting. The fraction really only represents the most likely percentage of green, it could be higher or lower.
