Any guesses on sex

[Marcy42]

I have 2 - 11 week old Bourbon Red poults. I know they’re too young to sex 100%. Just looking for guesses!

Be patient.

When wanting to sex turkeys from pictures, post 3 pictures of each turkey.
1. Full front view
2. Full side view
3. From behind and above showing the back of the neck and top of the head

Make sure all pictures are in focus and without any motion or camera motion blur.

Your Bourbon Reds will be easy to sex when they have their adult feathers. The breast feathers of the hens will have light colored edges. The breast feathers of the toms will have dark or black colored edges.

Thank you! I will get more pictures tomorrow when it’s light out. When do the adult feathers typically come in?

Usually by 4 months. You can see the difference with your Bourbon Reds because when they still have their juvenile feathers, both sexes have light colored lower edges on their breast feathers.
