I was Curious to know

do Turkey Hens and Toms have the same feathers

I know that they difrentiate in how the Plumage looks with Toms being more elaborate

but do hens get the flat feathers as well as the toms

i have a Bronze dunno its age but i would say 7-10 weeks and im trying to sex it

it has a tiny snoodle but then both sexes have that

its not looking any different so cant say yet no beard yet

and it has alot of flat feathers on its neck and hackle
 
The best feather distinction is that the hens breast feathers will appear lighter and the toms darker. Hens breast feathers will develop lighter tips than the toms. This happens for most of the common color varieties.
