Bourbon Red thread... or maybe just Bourbon thread?

[chiques chicks]

Two years ago I hatched four. It wasn't until about 5 months I was positive about the one. Ended up being four toms, so I ate them and started over this year. At seven months they dressed to about 11-13 pounds. Excellent flavor.

These first two pictures are of my suspected toms, hopefully you can see the caruncles

And here is one of my suspected hens, the other is camera shy.

I think we're at 7 1/2 weeks now

It's always hard to tell which ones are different when they're all the same isn't it?

as far as pecking order, is there way of telling such as the toms dont fight with the hens do they when they are young?

 

[turksinmaine]

i ask cause my smallest, which i assume possibility it is a hen never gets fought with and has no visible signs biting on neck like several others.

My guess is it probably isn't challenging the pecking order so it's fine. My smallest turkey spent quite bit of time fighting instead of eating, so it was the smallest for write some time.

I would guess tom- tom - hen. But I've been wrong before.

Wait, I'm male, I'm always wrong! *grin*

Two were obvious, beard, strutting, fanning tail. One was harder, and the fourth was very late with the beard and neck color and was bottom of the pecking order.

Here is my 10 week video, last couple weeks weren't too exciting, so they've changed a lot.
