Any way to tell male or female

[jessieg15]

I have three 2 day old bourbon red turkey chicks. I was wondering if/how to tell if they are males or females?

this is way to early to tell. but in four weeks you should post a pic and people will easily be able to help you find out what sex your chick is

Some one here mentioned a way they do it.
I never tried it but I think it goes like this (might be mistaken)

If you hold the poult and turn it up side down and if their legs stick straight out they are a male.
If they curl under the bird then its a female.

At one week, the snood bud may be bigger in a tom.
At three weeks males may start strutting. (sometimes less)
At five weeks, neck feathers either start on the head (hen) or fewer on a tom
At eight weeks, true colors start coming in so color sexable birds like Narragansett and Blue Slate may show toms as darker feathered and hens as lighter feathered.

I am hatching numbers of turkeys and tracking each one with guess at hatch as to male or female based on primary/covert feather length. They do definitely differ, but most of my birds are too young yet to positively ID.
