The breast feathers correspond with the back feathers but as far as photos go these birds were not being cooperative in the least. The Tom had the dark edge on the back and the hens had the light edge on the breast and back as well. They certainly wouldn't stand still but at least I now feel confident that I have a Tom and two hens. I hadn't ever seen him strut or gobble but I played the sound of a turkey gobbling and he raised his head and made a noise as if he was at least trying to gobble. They are all skiddish and I expected them to be rather bold but maybe it is because they are in with some chickens that are extremely bold. At least they are bigger than the chickens now. At some point maybe they will feel their size. So far I really like them and when I finally turn these birds loose hopefully they will free range well.
