Just got a Black Spanish myself - maybe 15 days old or so. Wish I could talk turkey to him since he seems so out of sorts. I'm running him next to my Barred Rock hens for now and he sleeps in the garage at night until he's a bit bigger. The hens peck at him so I have to keep him separate.
Yes, these are Spanish Black. The hen actually does not have the nicest coloring. They should be solid - none of that greyish silver color. If not for her great Mothering skills she would have celebrated TGiving differently. But now that she has proven herself she has earned a spot on the ranch.

Beautiful birds. Are those Black Spanish? Just getting started with turkeys myself, the poults are arriving tomorrow.
