Wheaten/Blue Wheaten Feather color

[Holiday Hatch]

I have a Blue Wheaten pullet with rather dark blue feathers in her tail.  She has blue feathers in her wings.  I don't yet have an APA Manual to look this up.  Is she still a Blue Wheaten if her tail and wing feathers are darker blue than what I see on Blue Wheaten Female on this website?  Is there a color variance
in Blue Wheaten Females, or is this not meeting the standard?  I tried to attach a photo but it wouldn't work.  I don't know if you can help me without the photo.  Thank you.  Linda

Your picture file may be too large. Can you save it as a jpg file? If not, send it to my e-mail address and I will post it for you. My e-mail is: syorks4@gmail.com

Here is the picture of Linda's pullet.

She looks like a wheaten in the photo.  Can you take a picture of the top of her wing unfolded?

I'll try to post a photo tomorrow with spread out wing feathers.  Thank you - Linda

Attached is a photo of the Pullet's wing spread out, to help me clarify if she's Wheaten or Blue Wheaten.  Thank you for the help.  Linda

Yep, blue wheaten.  I always use the inner wing color for verification if there is any doubt.

The standard does call for a light blue color.  It can't hurt to show this bird or breed her to see what happens.  I personally would like to see more color in the tails than what a lot of folks are getting.

Thank you so much for the Blue Wheaten confirmation.  Linda
