I have 4 baby turkeys and only one is constantly chirping. Could this be an indicator of the sex? Any idea if one is more vocal than the other?
Also, does the size of them mean anything? Thanks
 
Constant chirping in babies is often a sign of pain.

Turkeys are very unigender until they get a few months old, generally, meaning that the same level of size and feathering, vocalizing, displaying and aggression is shown between both genders on average.

The males and females at a few weeks old will often play a sex-role game where they take turns courting and displaying and playing at being their own gender, and the other as well --- one will display to the other, who will sit and invite the 'male' (who may be female), who will mount and mate, and then they switch roles and repeat the process. Both males and females take turns playing the opposite gender... Not any indicator of gender, lol. Even as adults, females displaying and gobbling is not uncommon. Male turkeys are also known to brood, or attempt to, and rear chicks.

Best wishes.
