Far too young to sex from photos. If you don't want to wait, there are a number of places that will do DNA sexing from either a blood or feather sample.I got three turkey poult siblings that my neighbor hatched out a few weeks ago to add my first turkeys to my mixed breed flock. They're 10 weeks old now and one of them has gotten a lot bigger in the past week or two. They're all Bourbon Red x Midget White. I would love for this to be a jenny but I'm feeling like it's a jake.
Thank you for your reply. I was hoping to have friendly turkeys so I've been spending time with them in their grow out pen until they (and my 3 month old pullets) are big enough to free range with the rest of my flock. I was under the impression that getting them used to spending time around people was the way to do that. They like to hop up in my lap for pets and to take a nap, and occasionally perch on one of my arms, climb over my shoulders and perch on the other. Is there something different I should be doing to assure they're friendly and not defensive as they get older?
Avoid as much contact with them as possible when they are little. You can tame them safely once they are older and understand that there is a difference between them and people.
