7 week old poult strutting

[Otis-Gussy]

I have two Narragansett's the same age. One is way bigger, the other is smaller with more petite legs. I've kinda been assuming she's a hen due to her size and even mannerisms.
Last night though I caught them both strutting around each other full on mini Tom style.
Is it possible she's still a she??
I'd be kinda bummed.

Generally hens don't do any displaying until they are adults as it usually has to do with dominance. So I would guess you have 2 toms.

Noooooooo!!!!!
Haha.. but seriously. I really wanted a opposite sex pair. Anyone have a young turkey strut and turn out to be female?
Don't take my hope away. Lol.

Sure. The one I suspect is a tom has much longer tail feathers and is larger. The one "in question" has shorter tail feathers and is smaller.
Same age.
Included pics of both of them for comparison

Is there anyway you could get a really good face pic of each to compare?

We have turkeys and when they were that age they all strutted around and I am almost positive at least one is a girl. We have three left(some we sold and one the darn neighbor dog got ) I would not loose hope yet! The first picture is not that great(it is really hard to get them to hold still) but that was about 3 months old, the second one is them at 4 weeks. They all have been strutting since about then and like I said I am almost sure the small one is a girl.
