What does the color cuckoo look like???????????

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.

 

Here's a picture of my 8-wk-old Cucko Marans pullet

 

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.

 

Chellester posted pictures of her cuckoo silkies here

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
