French Cuckoo Marans Roo x French Black Marans Hen - Will chicks be pure Marans?

[whitewood]

Hi,
Can anyone tell me if the chicks from a French Cuckoo Marans Roo x French Black Marans Hen consider pure Marans?
Also, do you know if the pullets will lay dark chocolate brown eggs like the French Black Marans mama? And if the offspring will look more like dada (Cuckoo patterned) or mama (all black)? Thanks!

It will be a true marans but not the color variety.

Any idea if the pullets' eggs will be dark brown (chocolate) color?

They should be dark brown because there is no other egg color genes bred into them.

So I have a Cuckoo × Copper Marans mix and 2 Blue Cuckoo Marans. I was told they are sexlinks. Is this true or do I have True Marans?
