Sexing young turkeys via poop!

[Crazydoglady99]

Random I know!
I was reading something the other day that said you can tell the gender of turkeys via the shape of their droppings!

Toms = j shaped
Hens = spiral shaped

Is there any merit to this (before my neighbors catch me diligently following my Turkey around )

Yes there is merit to it but I do not use it as a method to determine the sexes. It only works on normal droppings and not on cecal ones. It also does not work when the droppings are runny.
