Hi Samtheman
A Grey cleartail cock will pass on a recessive blue gene to all its chicks, a recessive cleartail gene to all its chicks and a dominant Grey gene to half its chicks
A Green split blue split cleartail hen will pass on a recessive blue gene to half her chicks and a recessive cleartail gene to half her chicks.
Net result you will get a range of chicks in: Blue, Grey, Green and Grey Green. Half will be visual cleartails and those that are not visuals will be split for cleartail. The greens and Grey Greens will all be split for blue.
Kind regards
Mike
