Hey! I’ve got nine 8 week old bourbon red poults and was wondering, would I be able to tell male from female yet?
First time with turkeys.

With Bourbon Reds you can sex them as soon as they have their adult feathers. The hens will have light colored lower edges on their breast feathers. The toms will have dark or black lower edges on their breast feathers.

Both hens and toms will have light colored edges on their juvenile breast feathers.

So how old when they get these adult feathers?

I know, I should already know this, right?

It's been a really long time since I had any Bourbon Reds but I am thinking they start coming in around the 4 month mark.
