Dooped by TSC

At least you got chickens, there was a thread around here about someone who got turkeys out of the white leghorn bin.

SERIOUSLY, turkeys???

I bought four "Asian Black" pullets from TSC, and now I am being told they are not ABs. Can anyone help me identify these cuties? I am not as concerned of breed/kind, I am more concerned that they are pullets and not roos. Thanks!!View attachment 1522383

Yours looks a lot like my Cuckoo Marans chicks:

Yep, I got turkeys, lol. On purpose, I knew what they were, but other customers I'm sure were pretty surprised.

They are not Black Sex Links, I have them. They are all black except a few white feathers on head and breast. They appear to be Dominique males, which I bought at Tractor Supply 5 months ago. Sadly a fox got them.

Black sex link pullets are solid black with some leakage. Black sex link males, however, are barred. That's how they are sexed at hatch - barred males have a head spot, solid females do not.

Leg color and barring can't be depended on, since it's hatchery stock

So after looking at the legs, they all have a greenish grey tint on them, some more than others. Only one has minimal color, but it's still there.

I went to TSC this weekend and am having the same problem. I posted a thread asking for help identifying my 8 yesterday. Ugh... Good luck!!
