It's giving you the percent chances. You have a 6.25 percent chance of getting a green male; a 12.5 percent chance of getting a green split to blue male chick; etc.
Same for the column marked: Females.
Generally this is based upon a four chick clutch using the old workhorse, the Punnett Square. But it can of course be as sophisticated as you need, depending on the traits. Fascinating.
Basically you don't know what colour you will get but you can get any of the above.
