He is a Pseudo Birchen(ER, Gold based). Likely E/eWh and Columbian.

That's different. What would be the best way to segregate the Wheaten?

Was thinking about combining the Wheaten color with Brassy Back. Thinking it would look interesting.

Wheaten with Melanizers is called Furness On Pekin Bantams.

I've heard of furness, just didn't realize it was Melanized, wheaten. It's pretty.

Can a bird be dominant white and carry recessive white?

Can a bird be dominant white and carry recessive white?

Yes, I think Dominant White X Recessive White is found in white Ameraucanas if I remember correctly.

White Ameraucanas are Recessive White because Homozygous White dilutes the shanks too much. Araucanas are Dominant White and they allow Yellow Shanks on those(Willow Shanks are not required)

I saw something discussed about breeding dominant, & recessive white Ameraucanas for improving the white color, especially with silver base instead of gold.
I think it was from the Ameraucana alliance Here.
