finally tracked down the tread Justusnak

I'm about 100% sure they are dun cuckoo with some yellow leakage from quail in the back ground..
Dont know if they are from my stock or not. I made the dun cuckoo about 3 years ago and have sent out quite a few eggs and chicks off them.
They could be side effects of someones crele project with them too. The light in the pics leave me guessing a bit. The hen does look dun though for sure. Being that dun is extremely rare in d'anvers, IF that is infact what they are, they are more than likely from mine. I have sent a lot up your way over the years. Here's some of mine to compare too. The dun I used to make them came from dun quail, and they have thrown a few with the color leakage in the males. Betting that's what your male is doing, giving that goldish color to the shoulders and hackle.

thanks for the comments too hdowden!!
