Susan Mouw:
Here are the pictures of Don's splash wheaten cockerels. :)

Jeffery and Cheryl Vance:
Good picture I like the head and back for that age

Carolyn Selent-Wild:
I have 3 Splash Wheaten roos, I Splash roo and 2 Splash hens. They came from pairings of my Blue Wheaten roo to a Blue Wheaten hen. They are so pretty I plan on breeding them to each other and to my Blue Ameraucana's. I want to add more to my flock working with different pairings. I am all for the idea of getting them onto the APA list.

Don:
Hey Carolyn,   Thank you for posting the pictures.  From the pictures the Splash Wheatens appear pretty light but it might be the lighting of these shots.  Do you have pictures of your blue wheatens by chance?  Did you get any splash wheaten females?  So you are planning to mate the Splash wheaten males back to Blue Wheaten females?

The splash female looks like she has pretty nice blue ticking.  What do you have to mate the Splash for this upcoming season?  Most feel that the splash needs to be mated back to a Dark Blue to keep the Splash from diluting further and getting too light.   I know of at least one breeder has had success mating Splash to Splash for one generation and still produced chicks with good base pigment.
