Just wanted someone who has a bit of experience identifying Wheaten vs Blue Wheaten. I ordered a dozen fertile eggs and hatched them. One of my little cockerels is alot lighter than the other and I was curious if this means he's a blue wheaten or if there is sometimes lighter shades still within the Wheaten color without being a blue?

(first picture is the lightest male above. Next to the female below)

(Third picture is the two males. Lighter one on the left and the dark one on the right. Ignore the welsummer in the middle)

The dark cockerel is wheaten, the light cockerel is blue wheaten. What breed are these? Also, I don’t think your welsummer is a welsummer, as it looks blue as well.
