Female turkeys have small feathers that extend over the top of their heads, but most male turkeys have completely featherless heads.
female turkeys generally have gray-blue flesh that might be visible beneath the small feathers on their heads. Male turkeys frequently raise their tails into the shape of a fan. On the other hand, a female turkey will keep her tail down and won't fan it out.
The legs of a male turkey will have spurs or small spike-shaped bumps that should be visible from a moderate distance. Female turkeys have smooth, spur-free legs.
In addition to being bigger overall, male turkeys also have longer legs than female turkeys have. MAles square heads when viewed from the top. The females usually where the ones that had more of a triangle shapped head.
