Wheaten Blue females will be blue (diluted black) where black should be...like the tail.
This is my Blue pullet...notice her tail and wing tips have the dilution. (no black) She is slightly lighter than the others.
I can post a comparison photo next time around...it's past my bedtime.
Thank YOU! I see the difference now that I know what I'm looking at/for.
Hmm need to go back and look at my girls, brain fade if they have black in tails at all. It is late isn't it!

The hen on the left is wheaten. Her tail feathers are black and she is darker overall.
The hen on the right is blue wheaten. Her tail feathers are blue and she is lighter overall.
Not a great picture but shows the black a little better. The two hens in the middle between the two roos are wheaten.
Here's a close up of a bw tail. Sorry I don't have a close up of a wheaten tail.
