Blue Wheaten Color

[lucerofarms]

Hey y'all! I'm new to chickening and curious to know how to obtain the blue wheaten color in Marans. I currently have some French Black Copper Marans - wondering if i can cross them with some other breed to obtain the blue wheaten color.

That would not be ideal. It would be much easier to acquire blue Wheaten Marans.
The only common breed with the blue Wheaten coloration is the Ameraucana, and it shares about zero traits with the Marans. Also, the black copper color is very dominant over wheaten.
So acquire blue wheaten Marans and don’t cross them.
