I am very lucky. Only three people have these in the States that I know of. I did n't even ask and was given the opportunity to raise him. I will return the favor with eggs from this boy and 3 bamma pullets I have. I also have a couple of other Black pullets to use him on. I can't wait till spring.​

You would think so. But, you never know how two different lines will hook up. I will make sure to hatch and keep a bunch to choose from

He has a lot of dark pattern for a self blue. Are you sure he's not a split or regular blue? We've had cuckoos for a while, but handed them off to a local friend to work on, while we're busy with our other projects. They pop up rather easily from white orps. Pretty birds!

Hink this is what he is.
