We received a mixed batch of turkeys poults about four weeks ago and I'm trying to figure out if these two pictured are different breeds. Thanks for the help!

To me it looks like a blue slate and a black. Then again, I've never raised either of these two varieties to be 100% sure.
Anyone else???
 
I was actually wondering if the non-black one could be a chocolate turkey - it looks a bit gray in the picture but they are actually very brown looking in comparison to the black ones. I could take a different picture if that would help1 Thanks!
 
The one on the right looks EXACTLY like some I hatched this year. They were Royal Palm hen bred to a Blue Slate tom. Half looked Blue Slate, The other half was Black Mottled. They didn't show any white, except the head, until about 8 weeks. The one on the left looks Chocolate. A Blue Slate chick will be Light gray with no white head.

This is not their mom, she just took over before they hatched.
