    Explanation:

    The chance that the offspring will have blue feather is 0.

    From the illustration, blue feather with allele B exhibit incomplete dominance over white feather with allele b to give a blue-tipped feather phenotype.

    Blue-tipped feathers bird will have the genotype Bb.

    White feather bird will have the genotype bb.

    Crossing both Bb and bb:

    Bb x bb = Bb, Bb, bb, bb

    Offspring

    2 Bb - blue-tipped feather

    2 bb - white feather

    None of the offspring will have a blue feather. Hence the chance of the offspring having blue feathers is zero.
