Breeding black to wheaten - have some questions

[smoothmule]

I understand there may be some black chicks from a wheaten rooster/black hen mating. What I would like to know is that will the black chicks from this cross "carry" the gene for wheaten and produce black chicks later with red leakage or wheaten chicks when bred back to black?

Wheaten x Black = black w/red leakage

black w/red leakage x Wheaten = 50% wheaten, 50% black w/red leakage

black w/red leakage x black = 50% black, 50% black w/red leakage
