Golden Cuckoo Marans rooster over a Silver Cuckoo Marans Hen

Can anyone tell me what color Marans this will produce? Will it be same color for the males and for females?

Sorry nobody's answering you. I wouldn't know either. When I looked it up, the Google AI said: "Golden Cuckoo Marans roosters have lighter plumage than Silver Cuckoo Marans hens due to the (B) gene, which is expressed in the double state in roosters." That's not much help but the best I could find.

Thank you. They are 3 weeks old now and they all look like regular cuckoo marans as far as color. The known males that I have look lighter for sure, but I also have a suspected male that is darker in color. Time will tell. Thanks again!
