No. Wheatens and Black- Blue Coppers are 2 different things. You would most definitely get some blue birds out of the cross but they would not be full Wheaten, nor would they be full Blue Copper and a person would be battling the some of the same issues that are already going on with the...

HUGS to you Randy! I am very sorry to read about your roo! :hugs

Hi! I do not have Wheatens and never have.....well I take that back, I hatched out 2 batches of some Wheaten hatching eggs for my bestfriend about 3 years ago for her as she was afraid to hatch them. I gave all the chicks to her when they hatched from the first batch. The second batch only 1...

I just love the looks of that bird and if I can get my hands on some Blue Wheatens....I am going to make some Splash Wheatens. Getting some nice regular Wheatens that lay beautiful eggs from my bestfriend won't be hard, but finding some good quality Blue Wheatens might be a small adventure, but...

I know.....Randy can send me his lovely Wheaten girls and Charlie can send me that pretty Splash roo and I will be all set! ;) :D

SEND HIM TO ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :love I haven't ever seen a photo of a Splash Wheatens male...................my gosh he is gorgeous!!!!! I want Splash Wheatens now!!!!! :)

Happy New Year Marans Friends! May it be a very safe and fun one for you!

I don't work with Wheatens but I do work with Copper and Birchen varieties of Marans and I would personally choose to work with the red edging vs. the fluff. Fluff is very very hard to get rid of. Colors can be worked with easier IMO.

Quote: Jeremy! Hoping they all arrive safe and sound and that you have an AWESOME hatch!!! cherylcohen just received 15 eggs from me about a half hour or so ago and they all arrived safe. I shipped them yesterday from SW Washington State around 12noon, they went fedex per cheryl's...

Quote: So this bird (Blue Silver Columbian) would have a groundcolor of silver (mostly white bodied ?), columbian restrictors would restrict black to the hackle, near the tail and tail and the wing band on the male and possibly some smudging or flecking on the back?...and the blue, of course...

Thanks for that Mr. David! Now if a person wanted to make a Blue or Coronation Columbian, what's the recipe? Where would a person start? Thanks and advance!

Quote: Ohhhh....huh-uh! That would require way more brain cells than I have....and I don't have many to spare, ! Yes that would be quite the striking bird wouldn't it? It will have to come somewhat pre-assembled or nearing completion for me to even begin to think of tackling that.
