I agree with Donrea, from Murray McMurray, he appears to be a Pioneer or Ranger. Either way, he is gorgeous!

First question is, what hatchery? Cuckoo Orpingtons aren't a readily available as hatchery birds. From what I can see, he's got yellow skin, so that rules out Orpington. I'm leaning toward one of the hybrid meat birds like a Pioneer or Rainbow, but knowing the hatchery will narrow things down.
Your black hens with red ticking at the throat/breast are black sex links.
MMM rules out all the rarer breeds that have been suggested. I'm sticking with Pioneer.
The splash bird looks like an Andalusian, I'm pretty sure I see white earlobes.
McMurray needs some new pictures up for those Pioneers, lol theirs look, well, like Hatchery hens ha-ha... Maybe they should put the OPs pic up there for better advertisement Based on that pic, I wouldn't want any, but from the OPs rooster pic, I want some lolMMM rules out all the rarer breeds that have been suggested.

Yep, I would say she is definitely Blue Andalusian; I love the splash coloring of my cockerel! It's almost lavendar He's very "princessy" too lol; always right up front, "look at me, I'm pretty" kind if attitude ha-ha
