All I have right now is about 8 pullets, 4 of which I like. But I kept some extras in case I loose some over winter. They don't have quite the type of my quail or silver quail because they came from those splash quail hatchery birds I had. Hope to make them alot better next year. If they get through the winter Ok, I could send you a couple of pullets in the spring. I know you got some good stuff to put with them.
Now what can I do with one cuckoo cockerel? Only other barred birds I have are the crele.

sounds good, even next fall would be fine, just keep me in mind. I'm gone try dun versions next spring and let the blue ones rest since you have those, maybe we can just swap some then. Still working on the lavender versions too, got really nice typed F1's, it's just being a " lottery game" on getting the right chicks bcak on them but I'll get 'em eventually.
On the barred, I wouldnt use him to any of the crele for sure, breed them to gether or a male to a bb hen to help the color like we were talking about earlier.
As for the cuckoo though, what colors you want to bar up??? LOL
I been wanting to try a barred mille personally just to see what it would look like, got to be weird looking for sure.
If you want some cuckoos to work with and have blacks, or blues, just breed him to one of them, they'll all be single factored barred if he's a double factored male. Or you can make my lavender barred off a lavender, just back breed the cuckoo chicks.
Just all depends, you can bar anything. I like it. Going for barred buff here in the next year or two. Just got helped out with some project buff. Plan to get them right then start playing with them.
Been really needing them for a lot of projects, with work, that's where you can get some really deep red pattern birds, as well as the lemon cream color....like lemon cream milles!!!
