Broad breasted white turkey poults gender?

[MidnightRaven888]

Just curious if anyone has any guesses on the genders of our 2 turkeys... got them in September i think possibly end of August? When we got them the lady did the feet dangle trick and we were guessing one female one male. Either way we love them, they've become our favorites because of how friendly and curious they are! TIA!

Pullets are chickens. These are turkeys.

These do not look big enough to be BBWs that are at least 3 months old.

FYI, the "leg dangle" method is not accurate and if done by holding the poults by the neck can cause severe damage to poults.

Both appear to be hens.

Turkeys and chickens each have their own set of terminology. All domestic turkeys are the breed Turkey and are subdivided in varieties.

There are many different breeds of chickens.

One common designation is that adult females are called hens. Adult males have different designations as turkeys are toms and chickens are roosters.

Some people refer to juvenile female turkeys as jennies and juvenile males as jakes.
