duns exactly the same as blue Cyn, except its brown.
same ratios. except black, dun ( instead of blue) and khaki ( instead of splash)

the chick in the pic looks blue  to me from what I can see of it though.
and yes dun can come just like she explained on  the blue, from a dull black to  brown down to a smokey grey .

the down color can vary a lot too, so if it came from parents marked as cuckoo and dun cuckoo, it obviously shouldn't be blue.

do you have some pics of the parents now that they are grown? That'd help some

lol the lightness has darkened. But he has a few white spots instead of Cuckoo. More of a splash. I am just going to watch him and see.

Took longer to do this wild one had to chase her all over the living room.

I noticed that also, almost looks like a mottled chick to me. Cuckoo should be solid colored with a white head dot and very tips of wings.
All that white makes it look at least to be a mottled chick

haha certainly aint nothing mottled about the parents. Probably just what JJ said, a lot of silver showing threw in the down
