Is a "wheaton" a breed?

Quote:
Technically, the leg color is "pinkish horn" but let's call it white for ease of speaking, the blacks should have slate legs, and the blues should have bluish slate, so I am guessing that your roo had some black or blue parentage, which can be common for getting the black blacker, etc.. Both salmon and blue salmon have the same color legs. Just because a chick's 5th toe isn't placed correctly doesn't mean that it's a mix, it just means that the toes aren't perfect, which is really common. It's hard to find good stock with perfect toes. Ideally the 5th toe should point upward, and there should be no webbing between the 4th and 5th toes. In reality, that's very difficult to find, even with great breeder stock.
 
Thanks for answering the question about the toe placement and doing so so thoroughly. I was beginning to believe it was a "hot topic" and no one wanted to touch it!
 
I actually believe its rooster #3. He has the feathered feet it seems and his beak is yellow unlike the faverolle. I just really don't think its the faverolle rooster's.
Who is the rooster in the picture with the mom in the picture #6
 
That is a son of rooster #3 which I got rid of. Im not sure he ever mated with Honker, the mama, but its possible. He would have been carrying genes from roo #3.
