Hi someone referred me to this part of the forum. I just want an opinion on the markings of my CCL cockerel and I also have a pullet. They are 15 weeks old and I incubated them. I just wondered if they are good specimens of their breed. I also managed to incubate a Blue French copper marans and a CCL/BCM cross.

You may have a CCL pullet but the cockerel looks like a mixed breed to me.
 
No it’s not. It came out of a blue egg exactly the same as the pullets egg and it’s dad was a CCL cockerel.
Just because it came out of a blue egg does not mean it is a pure CCl. You say the father is a CCL but that does not prove the father was a pure CCL to start with. If someone tried to sell the cockerel in the photo to me as a CCL, I would not believe them and I would not buy it.
 
Not great quality. The comb of the male looks off to me.
What’s it meant to look like.

ah well apparently it’s not a CCL according to another expert.

Where did the hatching eggs come from?
Is there a chance that the SOP in the UK is different from the US's?
Is it also possible that a 15 week old bird does not have his full adult plumage?

They are from UK. Thank you, I don’t think at 15 weeks he’s stopped growing. There are two kinds of combs as well. I have read though maybe he’s got too much of the rust feathers and more Cream is standard. But most particularly thank you for being kind. These are just backyard chickens not destine for a show but I don’t want to have to cull another due to lack of being able to find a home if necessary. Am not quite cut out for that part of it all though neither did I shirk my responsibilities there. So far he’s a good, calm, respectful boy so I pray that stays that way. I know to ride out what the next few weeks bring though hormone wise.

The SOP in the UK is different from the proposed SOP in the U.S. One particular difference is that olive eggs are acceptable in the UK but not in the U.S.

I am sure there are other differences.
