If you breed Wheaton Marans to Blue Copper will you get Blue Wheaton?

The title says it all. Someone posed this question to me and since I am new to BCM's and are still learning I did'nt know the answer. I did some seraches and also could'nt find anything so I decided to post. Thanks so much!!

According to the chicken color calculator... no. You would get more copper and blue copper

No you will get a mix of wheaten and copper. They are two separate breeds.
There are some discussions on the Wheaten and Blue Wheaten Marans thread. Some of the Black coppers carry wheaten genes due to early matings between the two and apparently it is hard to breed out because they are still popping up in some lines.
