Hi there! We have four 5-week old Bourbon Red turkey poults and were wondering if you can tell yet if they will turn out to be hens or toms. Two of them have a longer/larger bump above their beaks and the other two have a smaller bump (start of a snood or whatever it is called?) I'm assuming the ones with the slightly larger bump are toms? I'm soooo ready to hear them gobble! Can't tell if the noises and chirps they make are the start of gobbles or not.They are quite loud with their cheeping and crying.
Its really too early to tell for sure. They can really fool you at this age. You could guess and maybe get lucky but by about 12 weeks you can be sure.
