I bred my BCM roo to a Cuckoo Marans hen and as predicted the Cuckoo was a cockerel and the blacks are hens. My question, Will the Cuckoo cockerel bred to a Cuckoo hen now give all Cuckoo chicks?

Good question, I was wondering what would happen if a BCM roo & a Cuckoo hen were mixed. I'm too new to answer the chick question, though.
