Are these Bronze and do I have a pair?

You have not seen that post in the turkey section that says " something about looking sexy in my snood"?

It is the long skin on a tom that hangs down between their eyes.

when turkeys get a bit older it's usually the easiest way to identify the sex of a turkey. The tom can extend there so it dangles down past there beak or draw it up when draw up it's usually rather fat. Females usually has small dainty ones that don't extend.

Thats how these two are. One of them's snood will grow all the way past his beak and hang to one side and he will strut his stuff with his feathers all fluffed out and tail up and gobble at me. The other one is pretty quiet but she has gobbled.

Do they have a season they lay eggs?

If "SHE" has gobbled then she isn't a she. Hens don't gobble.

Here are some more. The bird in question is the last few pics. I'm positive the other one is a Tom.

Looks like a tom to me.

Very funny!

I guess I won't be getting any eggs then will I. DARN!

The bird in question looks like a Hen. They also look to be a Bronze X. I have a Bronze hen that gobbles, especially if I'm out banging nails in the fence with a hammer or starting up the lawnmower or making any other loud ruckus. I have another Hen that even has a beard and a longer snood, and she struts all the time, if she had not plopped an egg while walking in front of me I would have thought she was a Tom. So don't give up hope on Turkey eggs yet. There delicious!
