The black poults are Tri-Color Mottled Blacks. At this age they look very much like any other Black based turkey. As they age and get their adult feathers, they will develop the white mottling and the brown accents.

They sound really pretty, do you have any pictures of the adults?

Pretty! So you stick with Blue Slates and Sweetgrass, then? Your slate hen raising all the adoptees looks like so perfect a color.

I have switched to Sweetgrass. The Blue Slate hen is the last of the slates that I raised. Crossing her with the Sweetgrass is what makes the Tri-Color Mottled Blacks and Tri-Color Mottled Slates.
