Assuming the blue cock is /ino you can expect blue and turquoise cocks and hens. Albino , light and dark phase lacewing cocks and hens. For detailed expectations go to GeV calc.

Re: What color is my female and what colors will I get?
Okay I don't know if I am using the genetic calculator the right way but I will try I believe it told me that my blue and turquoise cocks would be split lacewing no visuals and all females will just be plain blue or turquoise? But I am not sure if I am using it correctly also is the first hen I listed a turquoise (pallid) lacewing it seems all other pics I have seen of them they have more yellow to their heads? just asking as that is what she is suppose to be Thanks for the info on chick possibility's

Re: What color is my female and what colors will I get?
Remember the blue cock is / ino. You can expect red eyed hens and because of the lacewing influence of the hen you also can expect some to turn out lacewing too. The shade variation in rainbows is due to the the %age of green in turquoise birds. The greater the percentage then, normal turqs have a pink neck ring whilst turquoise that have a greater percentage of blue have a pure white neck ring in cocks. This is the same in rainbows bred of these types of turquoise birds. Greener turqs breed the increased yellow head which you speak of. Phenotype variation in turqs is a controversial subject among specialist breeders. Such is the joy of colour breeding

Re: What color is my female and what colors will I get?
Thanks Molossus2 for the great info so I guess that my pairing will be somewhat what I was hoping since I would like to get some (Pallid)Lacewings out of the pairs that I have I am also going to be getting a violet hen and a blue lacewing cock in the spring to complete my small home aviary I will keep on learning through all of this it is a very fun hobby and I love my birds so much It will be fun to see what I get either way
also Rueae I also love the turquoise pallids They are one of my favorites Thanks for looking

Re: What color is my female and what colors will I get?
Okay so any ideas on my second pairing of RJ and Coral? Is RJ a normal blue he seems a bit lighter than my other Blue? Any suggestion on if he is a cinnamon? Or is he normal blue?
Re: What color is my female and what colors will I get?

I can't remember but the color in the pic is what his color looks like to me normaly he seems light for a blue lighter than my other one anyhow
Re: What color is my female and what colors will I get?
Well, he does seem light for a blue.
Could you take another picture?
Perhaps with natural light and no flash.
