Wheaten isnt a color pattern of Duckwing, duckwing is most distinquished with the hens having salmon colored breasts. Silver Duckwing, Red Duckwing( BBRed are the main Duckwing base colors and the other duckwing variations are these two with additional genes.
Gold Duckwing is Silver Duckwing with Autosomal Red added.
Blue Gold Duckwing is Silver Duckwing with Autosomal Red and Andalusian Blue genes added.
Fawn Duckwing is Silver Duckwing with the Dun gene added.
Red Pyle is Red Duckwing with Dominant White added.
Crele is Red Duckwing with Barring added.
Blue Red is Red Duckwing with Blue added.
Spangled (in gamefowl) is Red Duckwing with Mottling added
Wheaten is a separate color pattern and its recessive.
If you wanted to make Blue Gold Duckwing Ameraucanas, I would cross a Silver (Silver Duckwing)Ameraucana roo on Blue Wheaten hens. Since the Wheaten is recessive that should give all duckwing offspring and the females should be Silver and Blue Silver and the males should be Golden and Blue Golden since they would be split for both Silver and Gold genes they would look like Blue Gold Duckwing birds and then they should probably be bred back to the Silver Ameraucana hens if you dont want the Wheaten to show back up.
Oh and heres a calculator that I like better. http://kippenjungle.nl/Overzicht.htm#kipcalculator It allow you to pic the colors from the english section, click go to chicken calculator, change what ever genes you need to if you need to. And click calculate crossing and that will show the results and you can continue for several generations from that one pairing.
