What colour is my Pekin/Cochin Bantam Rooster?

Hi Everyone,

I am curious what colour my 7 month old rooster could throw to his offspring. I was told he is a Cuckoo but I'm not sure if that means blue/black base colour or how it all works when it comes to Cuckoo/Barred in a Pekin. Thank you!

He's so pretty! I'd say some kind of barred cuckoo, I think they were accurate.

He's blue barred. People often call birds with a messy barring pattern "cuckoo." He has a bit of brassiness/autosomal red.

Thank you! I appreciate your replies. I have some blue & splash hens so that is exciting on the blue front
