no sexlinks, but 50% of all of the chicks will be blue Barred/cuckoo

What would the other 50% be? I'm also wondering about the 50% that would be blue ... is that barred or cuckoo or how does not that work?
I've had no luck finding any info anywhere about this
Thanks so much for your help

Just curious

the other 50% are going to be normal Barred/Cuckoo birds... as to what are they going to look? cuckoo or barred? I would say they will look intermediate, between a cuckoo and barred. Barred and Cuckoo have the same barring gene. what makes Barred birds to have crispier barring is due to other genes.
