Ok phew, they aren't crosses! I think leakage is fairly common, I don't know how you would breed it out / shut it off though. The cuckoo makes it hard since you'd have to have cuckoo females too.I got ahold of the breeder who assured me, these are 100% silkie cuckoos. The cuckoo roosters do sometimes bleed and she doesn't know why but someone else was saying the same thing. That really can't be quality though.
I think you are safe to stay with your original plan of just keeping a NN if it is a pullet. If you're on the fence, I'd say sell it. It's very unique so I'm sure someone will be super happy to get it. Some people like the look of leakage.
For your super gorgeous cuckoo / white, definitely keep it!
