The difference between Cuckoo and Barred is?

Can Cuckoo be other colors? My Naked Neck is Red , Brown and Black. Sorry the pics are not good.

I am going to try to get clearer pics of her Friday.

When the cuckoo barring is present in other colors, it's called Crele.

Is this coloring/pattern an approved color for showing?

I can't really tell from the photos, but it appears that your bird is relatively young. If so, this barring will probably disappear when he/she gets her adult feathering and will be partridge or something close to it. If not, I don't think it is something that will be showable.

Thanks for the info - I am going to take clearer pics and post them tomorrow.
She is young and is still a feww months away from being old enough to lay eggs.

I agree, that turken looks like a partridge.

Hi! Thanks for the explanation of 'smutty', I think I get it.
This is one of the birds in question.

A blue barred or blue cuckoo (??) green-egger pullet.

My silkie is cuckoo. She's black and white, but looks more grayish.
