Need help with Blue Wheaten Ameraucana breeding question

[OkieKristi]

I have tried researching past threads to get an answer to my question, but haven't run across it yet. I have a beautiful blue wheaten Ameraucana roo, but haven't had any other pure Ameraucanas, so I have never done any hatching. I now have a couple of blue ameraucana pullets, but I am curious what color I will get from this combo. Everything I have seen, the normal combo is blue wheaten to blue wheaten, or blue wheaten to wheaten. Am I going to get mutts, or will I get some combo of blue, splash, etc.?

Since you have a blue wheaten Ameraucana you would want to breed to I believe a blue wheaten hen. I'm not sure if you can breed blue wheaten to wheaten. I know you wouldn't want to breed to a blue, splash, black etc. As according to the ABC those would be considered mutts or Easter Eggers. Hope this helps. Maybe some one a little more versed in the Ameraucana's might chime in here.

Thanks for the reply. I was afraid that was the answer. I may have to get a couple of blue wheaten pullets, but I will still probably breed some EEs from the blue pullets. I just love the color of my blue wheaten roo so much, I wish the girls were as colorful.

You can breed wheaten to blue wheaten, yes. You do not want to mix the wheaten family with the regular blue/black/splash.
