What colours can I put a wheaten Pekin hen with

[treens]

I was wondering if someone could please tell me if there's any other colours I can put a wheaten Pekin hen with? I have a splash, lavender cuckoo and a lavender mottle rooster but I'm guessing I will just be getting lucky dips with any of those combinations? Thank you

You can cross your wheaten to any of those, though you’ll get mixed colors. You could work towards making different colors (such as lavender wheaten, black mottled, cuckoo wheaten, etc), but it would require multiple crossings and careful selection of breeders.

Thank you for your reply. So all I could really put her with would be a wheaten for straight colours?

For pure colors in the first crossing, yes.

Also blue wheaten or splash wheaten.

Just to add to my question, I had the splash rooster in with two splash hens and didn't get 1 fertile egg out of them but their tail feathers are dirty halfway if that makes sense, so I think he has been misfiring is there another colour I can put them (the hens) with to get pure colours or will they be mixed too? Doesn't really worry me!
