Sorry if I've missed this part but could someone explain this one for me;

The chocobo far left (Chaos II) is one I raised and bred from G1 + another G1 bird I raised to 40 and that was the outcome, no mix of star since both parents had 2 star in everything.
The one on right just named "Chocobo" is one I bought with MGP as a breeding partner, but what bothers me is this.
The stars you see is the stars the parents of those birds had, not their current stars, so why does mating two like that give the baby stars of its grandparents so to say?

This is a good question, I think I overlooked that a covering chocobo does not actually show you its own star ratings, but only it's parentage ratings. Also that breeding screwed you over pretty hard given the possible star rating you could have gotten! same thing happened to me with my first breeding.

Because your covering chocobo is female it might be possible that only its female parentage is considered which is the parentage star rating that your pedigree 3 chocobo has. You can quite clearly see that the male parentage has not even been taken into account with G2-F.

That is what I started to think aswell, You have to be lucky to get a male with good stars vs female with same good mix, get two babies with a good mix and raise both to 40. That gives you 10 chances to breed a good mixed one.
This is becoming more complicated than I thought but fun!

Edit: Unless it is 100% that the baby will keep the mix of the father's father? and same with mother's mother..
