what are the odds?

I have a family flock of yellow IRNs, over the last few months I have acquired some more colors.
I now have a turquoise male, a blue(maybe cobalt) male, a grey female, and of course my original yellow pair.

I want to try my hand at actually picking out a pair from all these birds and getting something totally different(not green if I can help it).

I know absolutely nothing of the genetics of any of my birds, they mostly are all craigslist specials
What are the odds my birds are split to different colors and what are the most common colors for them to be split to?

For example,
Is it common for my yellow male and/or female to be split for blue?
Is it common for my blue male to be split for yellow?
Is it common for turquoise or grey to be split with anything?
Is it possible to get a white bird from anything i have?
Can a bird be split for white?
Can a ringneck visually be both blue AND yellow at the same time?

Thank you so much!

You have to reverse engineer to figure out what they are spit for if you don't know. So simply see what colors you get and then figure out how you got them. You might have to actually do a few pairings over a few seasons to determine all the possibilities.
