Well- yes, but the offspring may have red leakage from the wheaten coloring and may also not breed true. Wouldn't recommend that crossing. It's best to keep blue, black and splash together and then the wheatens together. (for breeding purposes)

It's not really that simple. If you want blue wheaten just get some blue wheatens. You already have some so why mess it all up? I have 2 extra BW roos- some and get one

There are blue wheaten eggs on BST regularly.

No need to recreate something that is readily available.

I know that there are several people working on NEW colors of Ameraucanas. I'm working on creating 2 colors that don't already exist.
