both puff up like males when they get angry, the white one does this alot lately. They've started fighting each other. The white one has the beginnings of a beard. Both are super friendly and cuddly :D

How old are they?

They are the breed Turkey. The dark one appears to be a Bronze hen. The White one appears to be a heritage variety. Depending on its age, it may be a young tom. Age is the deciding factor. Some toms don't come into their full baldness and their huge snood until at least 6 months old.

On the other hand, hens can have beards and can and do strut just like a tom.
 
The bronze is a hen and the white one is prob male but you might just have to wait and see.
Ps. they don't gobble till 6 mo old so you should not be hearing any gobbling from them yet.
 
Question answered- the white one started gobbling today :D I got a boy and girl yay!!
