The pullet might be ok, but the cockerel has many faults, I don't think you would want to use him as a breeder.

the pic was taken the day after i got them so it might not be the best pic of him right now. will have to post one in about a month or so after quarantine is over

What are the genetics of wheaten? There's a Pullet for sale by me and I'm wondering if I could put her in my blue, black, or bbred pens

The wheaton looks like an F1 cross with an Old english. It will take several more generations to get the type back to the rosecomb bird with the oe color.

That may be, but in this picture he is carrying his tail really high, and his back does not flow smoothly in to his tail. If this is a true trait of this bird, it is not something you want.
