Hello Gayleen,
With that combination you would get:
Grey male X Green hen=

25% green split blue males
25% greygreen split blue males

25% green split blue females
25% greygreen split blue females

Do you know if the green hen is split blue?

Alot of times when the female will remove everything out of the nest box.Its because she wants to go deeper in the box.I have had hens take every piece
of shaving out in a 2' nest box.Add another foot and she would dig a little deeper and be fine.Try going deeper.
