Wow! Can turkeys be gender identified from hatch?
Not as far as I know... maybe vent sexed? Ask Walnut, lol...

Looks like you have some really cute ones there!
My neighbor added me to one on FB. Holy cow. :/
Northern California--Oregon is 19 miles away, and the ocean is a couple of blocks away, as the crow flies (surrounded by dead ends, so about a mile by streets).
I swear the brainless ones flock there...![]()
That's the problem. I start reading and start replying, and before I know it, I'm mad as a wet hen.![]()
You mean, after half the threads on BYC you still have time for FB?![]()

They can be vent sexed, but I don't. I go by secondary characteristics, vocal tone, shank diameter, diameter of spur bud, blockiness of head.
Thick shank with prominent rear tendon - male
Blocky head - male
Large spur bud - male
Lower vocal pitch - male
Males are sweet, too. My toms have always been better pets than the hens, they are much more laid back.
