Let me look.... guess I should have grown more out. How do you feel about a Blue Cuckoo Roo? BTW they are Cuckoo..... Silver Marans are different, but would love to have some.

Yes indeed the silvers are unique! I only refer to mine as silver cuckoos because as a sex linked barring gene this can be added to many colors. I enjoy the privilege of referring to them as silver because they have no gold leakage as most tend to have.

Ive heard mine or neighbors crow any time of the night, they have visable light..but mine are out in a field, no light. so idk. Maybe they are just letting everyone know he is there. LOL

I would love them! I don't think they will ever be APA approved though. Most of my birds are not APA approved.

I will look at my cuckoos. I don't know that I have any Reg cuckoos, might be mostly blue cuckoo (blue over reg cuckoo will give you 50/50 of each). I don't know why cuckoos are so hard to find with feathered legs.

I don't care if they are APA approved I still want them Affording them maybe a different matter! Where is the smiley with his pockets turned out?
