Hi , I have one young pullet who is mixed colour but some feathers look candy corn. I was wondering how I can make more of her ? And what kind of rooster should I breed her back to, to create more of the candy corn feathers? I have white crested heterozygous cuckoo(gold leakage) and a homozygous cuckoo . Also have a white crested black but that’s obviously not the answer. EC735971-39D7-4CFD-9EC2-2C62654D8E90.jpeg
It’s my impression that using a heterozygous cuckoo male over a gold laced hen would be my best option. I have a rooster that is a heterozygous cuckoo with gold leakage and I have gold laced hen as well.

Please let me know if this is correct or if you have any other tips ?

For the choices you have, I agree that sounds most likely to get more birds colored like the hen you are trying to match.
