No, unfortunately i don't. I sent three pullets to a fellow that has a lot of experience with spangled than myself, and I feel would do a better job than myself getting them going, then my blue spangled cock died.

hey all
just got back from my weekend from the ohio nationals
i bought a wheaton pullet and a blue wheaton cockeral

question

the roo has white leakage in his sickles-right at the base of his tail on i think 3-5 feathers
and the hen has white leakage in one of her primarys

another question

what colors will i get from this pair
and how hard is it to breed the white out of their feathers

not sure on quality..thinking maybe SQ
will post pics tomrrow or tuesday

Well, im no expert, but a wheaten or blue wheaten with white leakage is not going to be SQ, or likely to be even good breeder quality. But a pure wheaten to a blue wheaten will give u roughly half of each.

 

[lcw1995]

yea thats what the guy said about them not bein SQ
forgot to add that in the previous post
thats why the guy was selling them
because of the white
i wasnt sure how hard it would be to breed out of them

Honestly, if it were me, as common as wheaten s are, i would start out with some good quality ones, rather than start out trying to fix someone else's culls.

I have never seen white appear in a wheaton or blue wheaton there is much more to the story and it cam from somewhere and it wasn't a wheaton..

Post a Pic but long story short at best they are severe stress marks, at worst you have yard birds, or a meal.

dang and here i thought i picked some somewhat decent birds
ill post pics on here tomrrow or the next day just so you can see them

 

[lcw1995]

one last question

since i bought these birds
how would i go about breeding the white out of them

Without knowing how the white got in there, which wheaten s absolutely should not have white anywhere, and since both birds are showing it, u would likely have a very hard time eliminating it. FoUr or five years of work might get u there.
