Meet the Cuckoo Blue: A Rare Gem in the Chicken World

Exclusively from My Pet Chicken

If you're looking to add a chicken to your flock that’s as beautiful as it is productive, the Cuckoo Bluebar is calling your name. This custom-bred stunner is available only at My Pet Chicken, and it's quickly becoming a favorite for backyard chicken keepers who want a little extra magic in their coops.

Let’s explore why this unique breed is getting so much love.

What is a Cuckoo Bluebar chicken breed?

A Breed with a Purpose

The Cuckoo Blue is a first-generation hybrid, carefully developed to deliver reliable blue eggs, striking appearance, and a sweet personality. It’s a designer bird that blends the best traits from its parent breeds, offering a consistent and hardy addition to any flock.

Unlike standard breeds, this custom cross is bred specifically for egg color consistency and hybrid vigor—meaning you get beautiful, productive hens with strong genetics.

Big Personality in a Beautiful Package

One of the biggest surprises about the Cuckoo Blue is how friendly these birds are. Although their parent lines tend to be more active or aloof, Cuckoo Blues are often described by customers as sweet, smart, and approachable.

They’re excellent foragers, love to explore their surroundings, and do just fine in confinement if free-ranging isn’t an option. Whether you’re new to chickens or adding to an established flock, their easygoing nature makes them a joy to raise.

Unique Looks That Turn Heads

These chickens are true lookers! The Cuckoo Blue features striking barred blue plumage—a beautiful twist on the traditional black-barred pattern. Hens have a softer barring with darker hackle feathers, while roosters boast bold, showy striping that really stands out.

If you’re building a flock that’s as fun to watch as it is productive, the Cuckoo Blue brings both style and substance.


Blue Eggs with Impressive Yield

This breed isn’t just about looks—they're powerhouse layers too. Expect 5 or more large, light blue eggs per week from each hen. And thanks to their hybrid design, 15 out of every 16 pullets are expected to lay blue eggs with excellent consistency.

Whether you’re collecting for the kitchen or creating eye-catching cartons for sale or gifts, these eggs deliver on both quality and color. You can expect your Cuckoo Bluebar hen to start laying eggs at about 4-6 months of age.
