[marchick]

it would be difficult for sure if you did not have your 2 boys with a stunning pure silver .
the cockerel add more color to they progeny better than they mama hen .

agree with chickengr .split them to 2 group and work with both occkerels .

I will do that. In order to split them up I will have to find a home for my silver Cuckoo pullet. I will need that pen for sure.

what wrong with a silver cuckoo pullet ?
can you post a photos of her ,if her silver is pure like your cockerels ,than she can be helpful to you to produce pure birchen pullets with a better hackle marking .

This is the silver Cuckoo. I don't have a place for just her. She has no mate. I would need help to know what to use her for in my breeding program.

this is not silver cuckoo, at least not pure. @Chooks man will advise you how to breed her.
