Mixing color varieties (or not!)

Suz:
From what I understand, the wheaten in Ameraucanas is e Wh, which is dominant wheaten. e y is recessive wheaten.

However, E (black) is dominant to e Wh (wheaten).  Genes with capital letters are dominant genes – only one copy of a dominant gene is needed for that trait to be seen.  Genes with lower case letters are recessive genes – two copies of a recessive gene are needed for that trait to be seen.

The Wh and y should actually be superscript, which is 1/2 line above regular typing.
