Need Help Sexing 3 Month Old Narragansett Turkeys.

I know for sure that one of the turkeys pictured is a tom. I believe I also have a hen, but I am unsure of one of them. I am including several pictures. In the first 2 pics, the tom is the closest to the hen house. I believe the one in the middle is possibly a hen? Definitely unsure of the last one. I had to link directly from my photobucket account because for some reason I am unable to post directly to this thread.

You have a tom & hen for sure.... The last one appears to be a hen as well.  

I have to tell you something funny though. I had a BBB tom(?) Not quite, he was a hermaphrodite.

Had one (not 2) testicles & had a uterus. Never gobbled, strutted or laid eggs. The sister was a hen.

She looked & acted like a hen & also laid several huge eggs. wink.png

2 Dogs (rottweiler & bichon), 4 pygmy does, 1 cat, 2 Turkey poults, 3 rouen ducks & Chickens.

If you live to be a hundred, I want to live to be a hundred minus one day, so I never have to live without you.

Awesome!!! I was hoping the last one would be female. I have another tom that was not in the picture. I have found the Toms to be the most friendly toward me. In fact, they are downright obsessed with me. I never realized how funny and personable turkeys could be. They actually get on my deck and look in the windows of my house looking for me.lol.png

 

That is crazy about the hermaphrodite turkey! That is surely something that does not happen very often. He/she was probably confused about it's role on the farm, lol..

First time for turkeys here, too!  I love them--they are so fun and full of personality!
