@ Champion Farms-
Thank you! My Bourbon Reds are actually 3 months old now- I started this thread when they were 11 weeks (2.5 weeks ago) because I couldn't tell what gender they are (haven't had turkeys before) but as I have found on searches, I think it may be because I have all one gender and...
...bourbon red and found this video I think you will find interesting as well!! He says they are 6 weeks old. I don't know about you but MY turkeys *at 3 months* have NEVER made that noise before, I 'bout jumped out of my chair I was so startled!! LOL... so perhaps it will help you ID your...
...crazy. After seeing some other folks with BR's I thought I MUST have all girls... but I have gone from thinking all girls, to maybe a boy...or two? *shakes head*... If we go with the "poo" trick (boys have L or J shaped droppings and girls have a swirl) then I have to have both gender in...

They were hatched April 14th/15th and are now almost 11 weeks. From looking at other's video and photos I think perhaps 4 Females? But I am holding out hope. The gal we bought them from at 5 weeks was guessing 2 pair... That sure would be nice!! Thanks for your input!!
