It seems like my hens also carry the cream coloration.

I'm guessing that they all posess the Di dilute gene, would a dilute mask the copper color on the blue copper hen, making them Di/Di? Or did they only inherit it from the father, being Di/di?
they have a great body type your cuckoo pullets .well chunky and thick .
they only inherited one copy from they sire .
one copy is enough to mask the true color of the copper .
I like the black barred cockerel .( his tail is high and comb is big) but well chunky and solidly built .
his brother the blue barred is more colorful than him .
over all the Blue one is more correct .less fault .
