I have 2 young pairs of Blue Wheatons I could make 1 pair available, they are hen line birds, and about 14 weeks of age. PM if interested.
Photo's below are the breeders, several of these hens have been shown and always do well.
I do not raise Male line wheaton / Blue wheaton as one cannot compete without cross breeding to BB Red and I prefer to provide breedable birds.

That would be fine typically balck dots surrounded by a lighter color, the best reference would be the back feathers of a BB or silver duckwing hen. it is a fault commonly found in the Primary flight feathers of wheaton hens as well as a few other varieties this is often in the black areas of the wing primary. For BB red you can also see a good reference in the top tail feather of the but as a fault will extend beyon the top tail feather to other tail feathers and is a brown stippling.
Hope that helps.
