Cuckoo Marans cockerals feather in lighter while the pullets are darker feathered.

If you are asking can you create a sex link using Cockoos, then the answer is yes. They are also a breed that can be sexed at hatching like a barred rock.

You can create a sexlink using a Cuckoo Marans hen.

Cuckoo and barred birds can be used to create a sexlinked bird based upon the barring gene, not the silver gene.
