Hi folks,
I asked a question about sexing my turkeys awhile ago and was told that I'd have to wait until they got older. Steve from SandS said that hens would have white around the edges of the feathers and toms would have black trim. These have white, but I just want to make sure I'm right.

My question is....What do I have??

I am subscribing to this. I have 2 BR younger than yours but I am already noticing differances. One is lighter than the other and the darker one has light black bars at the end of his longer feathers.

That's kinda what I want to know. Mine are light with no black. I guess I have 2 hens. I have 2 eggs in the hatcher now due Sunday. Hopefully, I 'll get one tom out of them. I had a disaster and these 2 were the only ones to survive.

they look like females but i would wait untill most/all of their adult feathers are in, good luck

I have 8 Pure Bourbon Red poults right now that may or may not be Toms. I put 18 more eggs in the incubator today also have one hen that's sitting on 6 more. If you don't get one I am sure we can get you one somewhere...lol
