It looks like a Broad Breasted Bronze. My guess would be a hen. I'm a total newbie to turkeys though.

Definitely a hen, but I don't know on the breed.

It looks like a bronze turkey and not sure of the gender....

Looks to be a hen and is a BB Bronze.

Why do you guys think this one is a hen? What are the distinguishing features? I've got an 8 week old that I've been trying to figure out myself!

 

[megshenhut]

She has a fuzzy head and feathers up the back of her head. Her head is more grayish pink, not as red and the caruncles on her neck are very small, almost nonexistent. But Inkyspal, at 8 weeks, I'm not sure you will be able is distinguish any of that. Turkeys can be tricky.

Short snood, no carruncles (?), and her breast feathers are laced in white instead of being black.

Just what I'm looking for with my Standard Bronze.

BTW...how old is (s)he?
