They are Black Shouldered, however Black shoulder is not a color it is a pattern. The wings on a Black shoulder are solid color and the wings on a regular type are striped. Those could end up being any color of Black Shoulder, such as India Blue Black Shoulder, or Purple Black Shoulder, or Bronze Black Shoulder, or Opal Black Shoulder, etc...........

Black shoulder variety. You will be able to sex them in a few weeks. Post pics later and we'll help ya!

Hello everyone! I had 6 shipped eggs and 3 of them hatched

. I set them under a broody hen for about 18 days and then transferred them to an incubator. 2 hatched yesterday on day 26 and 1 today, day 27. They look great but they are really lazy, they are not standing much. Should I be concerned? They are in with my week old turkey poults and one chick who is the teacher for the turkeys. I have meatbird feed at a 22% protein level in there for feed. Any suggestions or insights would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!
