3 month old Turkey - Tom?

He looks exactly like my standard bronze Tom. Identical. Are you sure he's not a bronze? And yes, definitely a tom! The males have blackish/bronze breast feathers with no white edging like females have, and the longer snood.

I purchased the eggs and that's what I was told. I have no idea then what he is :/

A breeding of sweetgrass x narragansett can make bronze offspring, they just aren't pure bronze but will look it for the most part.

Interesting. Thanks for the insight

Updated pic of Max. He's almost 6 months now. He lost a few tail feathers but as you can see their coming back in nicely. He is a great Tom. Loves attention.

It might be a little hard to figure sex on a turkey.

Because i believe that is a peafowl.

A peafowl?

The pic is of a peacock. Unless wrong pic posted.

Looks like a pea hen. If it's a turkey I've never seen one that looks like it.
