Hi! I have a Isabel Cuckoo rooster and a Crele rooster. What colour hens do I need to product Isabel (cuckoo/crele) offspring?

I'm sure he'll make his entrance soon enough, lol. Very handsome roos! I have no idea on the genetics, that's way beyond my knowledge. I do know that Papa's poultry sells Isabel hatching eggs, I had a broody hatch some this summer and the chicks were beautiful!

Unfortunately I live in Canada and options here are limited 😩
Very jealous of my US friends
 
There are multiple ways in which Orpington breeders have created Crele and Isabel Creles, etc. As they are not accepted into any SOP there's also a personal preference that comes to play in how breeders select their birds. Just because something looks Crele doesn't mean it is genetically. This is really obvious when you start bringing in different bloodlines. All that to say just because the calculator is assigning certain genes to parents does not mean that the offspring will come out the way they should if different genetic combinations were used to create a faux Crele if you will.

Ohhh that makes a lot of sense. And explains some of peoples, and my, confusion! I just purchased them day old labelled ‘Isabel Cuckoo Crele’ 😞
When mated with my lavender hens they made the following
