I got these two maybe 2-3 month old red bourbon turkeys

I was hoping for a hen and a tom but they others started displaying and also they're both flushing hard. I thought maybe one was a hen since her legs are thinner and her snood is not as big. But now I'm not too sure after researching online.

I am clueless about turkeys, but wanted to suggest posting this directly in the turkey forum if you do not get timely answers in here.

Yep, there are a lot of forums. You posted in the right place but sometimes answers come quicker in when you try in multiple forums.

You left off the one pic that would make it easy to sex them. Bourbon Reds once they have their adult feathers are easy to sex.

Hens have light colored lower edges on their breast feathers.

Toms have dark or black colored lower edges on their breast feathers.

Juveniles that do not yet have their adult feathers both sexes have light colored lower edges on their breast feathers.

At this time neither of these are displaying the snood of a tom.

I think they’re both males but have only raised one turkey so I’m not an expert

Ty for answering me. I took better pics of their breast feathers for you.

They don't have all their adult breast feathers yet. The ones they do have appear to have light colored lower edges meaning they are hens.

Their legs also look thinner than what I expect on a tom.

Ty! Much appreciated. I'll post more pics in a few weeks.
