There are a couple people who are breeding blue cuckoo but I am not one of them although the genetics are quite simple. A black cuckoo rooster over a blue hen. Blue genetics would be in place here so you would get both blue and black, and unless the rooster is double barred you would get solid and cuckoo chicks.
Hope this information helps.
You can fine the Cuckoo information here http://www.thefancychick.com/CuckooOrpington.html and the blue genetic info here http://www.thefancychick.com/ImportedBlueOrpingtons.html
@rockinpaints I was hesitant to even state who I was told the adult parent birds were from, Lol. Once another breeder gets a hold of them they become their own lines, as we know. So I don't want you to feel like I was stating these were your lines lol. LOVE your birds by the way.
My main question is in the fact that the rooster was split to chocolate and the hen was blue. Both parents are cuckoo. So are all the chicks half split to chocolate and half blue then?
I think I'm going cuckoo trying to figure this out.
