SLW soft vs Sapphire Gem

[MarkJr]

I have three of my 8 week old chicks weaned off momma for a week and a half or so.
The Sapphire Gem has shouldered her way on the big girl perch.... takes her couple of pecks... then goes to sleep.
The SLW (two of them) jump on the perch and all it takes to get them flying down is for one of the laying pullets to turn toward them. They then regather, jump on lower perch everyone uses to get up on taller ones and are content to roost there.
Are SLW chickens ‘soft’ ??? My gems and dominant coppers are always pecking back and forth. Not damaging, not fighting.... but more hey this is mine, or hey move your tail feathers down lady. I need some elbow room.

I don’t know across the breed, I can just go off of my SLW. She runs the coop, no questions asked.

This is what I’ve come to understand also.I might have defective chirplets.

Some are just more 'chicken' than others.
Hopefully they have a lower roost to get comfy on.

dominant coppers

Is this a certain breed or.....?

dominant copper is what the bin said. My undertanding after reading on them still isn’t clear

Sounds like some hatchery marketing 'magic'.....or farm store bin label snafu.
Any idea what hatchery did they come from?

I bought from Coastal Farm

Looks like maybe jenks hatchery.

CZ Copper Maran over Bar Rock. Somehow their eggs per year are around 290.
