Cuckoo Silkies are wishful thinking, you are producing a genetic conflict as the barring gene removes pigment from the skin,comb etc. You are trying to produce the require pigment by the use of Fm & id+, and at the same time removing it by the use of barring/cuckoo.
You will always live in hope with the young cockerels,they will always be darker until about 12 weeks ,then male hormones kick in, pullets will always be darker.
