Both of my roos look black with the white heads like the roo on the right on one of the pics. I hope that means they are silver for sure!

And I say YES the cockerel on the far right (above) is a Silver Wheaten.
The orangish pullet is a red wheaten, the light pullet is a Silver Wheaten...don't know what the far left is ?
 
OMG... I so wanted to move on of our ducks inside and my husband said "NO!".

How do you train them not to go to the bathroom all over the place?

You can have them wear diapers when they are out of their pen. Amazon had 2 pens from Trixie that will fit on a piece of plywood. All you do is get the adhesive tile to cover it, put a covered litter box inside for the nest box, them add food and water containers, and a perch. When they are free to roam, put a diaper on them and leave the side door open. When they're in the pen with the door closed, take the diaper off. Figure out their normal laying time and use that as in pen, diaper off, and then put them in at bedtime or when you're not home. Clean the pen in the morning and before putting them to sleep, and any other time its needed. You can put litter in the pen, but make sure you have something around the lower 6 - 8 inches of the sides so the let doesn't get kicked out. Ours like to be in an area where most of the activity is, so they are in the living room. I will try to get some pics of our set up, just be aware that our house is relatively small, and filled with animals. For outside time, either a coop or pen will work, or you can take them out on a leash.
