What colours can I put a wheaten Pekin hen with

[treens]

Update! The little black cuckoo turned out to be a rooster, a pretty handsome one at that! He has since found a home with a couple of ladies as I didn't really have room since there are so many other roosters I like. Since adding a couple of splash hens in with the lavender mottle rooster, I've got a couple of lavender mottles and I'm not sure of one but she's beautiful. I also think I got a straight lavender which I love (I haven't got a photo of her yet)

The third picture below is a pullet that came from lavender roo x mottle hen. She hasn't got very good mottling but I'm going to see and wait until her next moult if it gets any better. The other mottle pullet is stunning though! (Well I think so). I think I want to keep the mottle rooster but I'm not sure if I can keep him with his sister? Or am i better off putting him with his mother?

So I've hatched some chickens out of two trios - lavender cuckoo roo with a lavender cuckoo hen and wheaten hen, and second trio is a lavender mottle roo with a black mottle hen and a blue hen. This chick I'm sure came out of the second trio, is it a colour? It's very pretty!

Oooo love those little cuckoos!

They are very nice!

Did you hatch them from eggs or do you have the parents?

I hatched them from bought eggs

the parents?

If you're talking about the little ones in the last pics, their parents are the ones from bought eggs if that makes sense

I think to get a lavender cuckoo my understanding is you need a leav cuckoo hen and rooster. I'm not 100% sure on this though so don't quote me!
Love blues and cuckoos ❤

What I still don't quite understand is the difference between blue and lavender....

My "blue mottled " birds are darker than the ones in your pic

I think lavender is lighter. I think I could have a blue mottle and she is darker than the lavenders .

Love your chookies by the way!
