Wheaten Marran color genetics help please

[RACHELLE85]

So bought a dozen day old chicks in February and from a different seller two dozen eggs both said Wheaton marran. My flock needs to be thinned out i have a out a 50:50 ratio boys to girls my question is which rooster do I keep? I have a black, 2 gray, and three splash? Is that normal i want to sell off some of the birds but I don't wanna tell everyone they are Wheaton if they aren't. This is the older bunch. In the younger batch there's black and gray not sure if there's splash. I'll post pics latter I'm on my daughter's junky tablet. Anyway is there a blue gene in the Wheaton?

No there is no blue gene in wheaten.
There is however blue wheaten that do have the blue gene.
IDK how common blue wheaten marans are. I'd think if they are blue wheaten they would of sold as such instead of just wheaten.
Eager to see pics.

If you must cull and would like to keep the blue gene going on the wheaten then I would focus on keeping the best Splash wheaten roosters

Waiting for some pictures.

These are my oldest birds

And these are the rooster I hatched from the other eggs more consistent in their coloring there’s one that’s mostly black but most of the others are bluish grey

Those are wheaten and blue and splash wheaten. One of the roosters is blue barred wheaten, though.

Single barring, it must have carried over from a cuckoo maran
