It looks like the color down they call chocolate. Hmmmm a cuckoo chocolate!!! I hope you keep letting us see how they develop. They're sooo cute!! What color are the other two?
I have two just hatched, still in the bator and another one piping.

The other two I hatched this week were both black. One is out of a black cock, and chocolate hen both from Jerry. We're hoping he's a boy, since he would then carry the chocolate gene.
The other is a black/grey chick from Magellan (Juliette's former chocolate based frizzle) over a black pullet. Time will tell....
I've been planning to "make" cuckoo chocolate, but didn't exepct it to just show up. Maybe the boy is split for it. Only time will tell. He's getting paired to my chocolate hen in a few weeks to see what happens.
You may be right about him being split. That would get you there a lot faster. After they get here, be sure and post pics of the chicks from the cockoo and chocalate hen too.
I have three chicks hatched now and another piping.
Their chirping is driving my dog crazy she's like a mother hen and runs to the incubator to see what's wrong.
