That doesn't look like cuckoo to me. 

 

Just looks like a nice mixed breed chick.

Keeper of 18 hens,  3 PW Leghorns, 1 leghorn mix, 1 FBCMarans, 1 Australorp, 2 Olive Eggers , 1 EE, a Barred Rock, a RIR, a CQ, 1 Delaware,, a Splash Ameraucana,  3 polish, a Welsummer and 25 juvies of various breeds(6 Heritage Delawares, 1 SLW, 1Blue NN, 5 FBCMs, 2 Ameraucanas, 2 Olive Eggers, and 8 Alohas.) YIKES!  Time to SELL some chickens!

Was it born with a white dot on its head? wink.png

 

If so, then yes, very poor cuckoo patterning on a birchen, pencilled, or similar type color patterning.

 

Otherwise it's just a silver birchen, pencilled, or other type patterning throwing you off.
