Oh, I won't be able to tell on a white bird. The saddle feathers I was looking at, I was looking at a specific pattern in the colors that don't show up on whites :( Sorry!
Oh no, I'm quite sure they aren't blackshoulders. With blackshoulders, you can see the faintest tan on their flight feathers- yours have white white white flight feathers.

Thank you! Do you have them banded or something so you can tell which ones turn out which gender? In order to determine if I'm correct, that is the information I will need next
Ok, here is the deal. I am trying to determine something about the saddle feathers (the feathers basically on the 'shoulder' area that grow in when the first wing feathers are growing in, kind of where you'd put a saddle on a horse) of 2 week old peachicks. As I am not probably going to be...
