Somebody correct me if I am wrong, but wheaten is recessive.  So crossing a blue wheaten to a blue would produce BLUE, BLACK AND SPLASH Ameraucanas that also carry 1 copy of the wheaten gene.  If you then breed those back to the wheaten you would then get more wheatens and some not visually wheaten but carrying the wheaten genes.

 

GRANTED it is a hard way to get wheatens, but is it really any different than with splits?  JMHO..... 

 

NOT THAT I AM CONDONING that cross.  I think it would be a hard hard way back to Wheatens and all the BLUE BLACK AND SPLASHES would be forever carrying the wheaten genes..... not a good thing.

@Ashandvine:

I think she has an amazing beard and muffs!

I am no expert, though.

Congrats!  If they're anything like mine, you'll love them!

I hatched from a pen with a Lavender rooster. The hens are Lavender, Black, and a Blue Olive Egger. I grabbed a few of them out of the brooder for a photo shoot. I think I hatched around 30 of them.

I hear people talking about this stuff... Where do you learn it?  Is there a source?

What would you get if you crossed a wheaten roo with a blue hen?

Wheaten Genetics
 
Here is a bit of info on how the wheaten gene works....
Wheaten x Wheaten = All Wheaten
Wheaten x Blue Wheaten = 1/2 Wheaten and 1/2 Blue Wheaten
Blue Wheaten x Blue Wheaten = 1/2 Blue Wheaten, 1/4 Wheaten and 1/4 Splash
Wheaten.
Wheaten x Splash Wheaten = All Blue Wheaten
Blue Wheaten x Splash Wheaten = 1/2 Splash Wheaten and 1/2 Blue Wheaten
Splash Wheaten x Splash Wheaten = All Splash Wheaten
