[bustnova]

Can anyone show me what color cuckoo is?
I think that is the color of my naked neck.

The only cuckoos I have seen are marans. They look a lot like barred rocks. Go to www.vhatchery.com/ for pictures of marans. He has cuckoo and blue cuckoo.

I would describe my cuckoo marans as looking like a fluffy, messy barring Barred Rock.

Cuckoo is the English term for what we called barred. So the English would call a Barred Rock a Cuckoo Rock.

Although hatcheries have muddied the waters by producing badly barred Barred Rocks, cuckoo is a less distinct pattern, not evenly barred. There are actually cuckoo Silkies as well as cuckoo patterns in other breeds.

So what color would say my naked neck is. Just curious.

Cuckoo is not a color but an irregular barring pattern like Cynthia said.

Edited to add:

Here is a lavender cuckoo

A Buff Cuckoo Orpington

So you can see the cuckoo is the pattern not the color
