Hen or Tom? Pencil Palm Turkey

[zook]

so I have had the above mentioned turkey for a little while- after watching it and seeing how it interacts with the tom and hen in my pen- I am starting to feel that it is a tom.
Its head is bare of feathers and is beginning to get blue in it
The snood does extend a little bit at times
This turkey and my Tom that struts, want nothing to do with each other

There is no sign of a beard nor spurs yet but it is only about 9-10 months old right now...so given the above, am I off base thinking it is a Tom?

I posted about a turkey in the fall and everybody said it was a hen. 2 months later everybody said Tom. Opinions are just that. The bird will show you eventually its sex. Although both sexes will strut.
here is mine now evidenly a Tom and the following pic 2 months earlier.

At 10 months there should be a beard. Do you mean 10 weeks?

I was told 10 months but feel like it may be closer to 5 or 6 months- the behavior it displayed around my tom (who does nothing but strut) was one of avoidance, it paid no attention to my hen either...Recently it began to get a lot of blue on its head and there are absolutely no feathers on its head....no beard at all either...
..
Since my Tom ignored it completely and I was not sure about tom or hen, I traded it back to the person that hatched it for a BBB hen Friday- we moved everyone into a 10 x 20 pen yesterday and this morning the BBB laid an egg, much to my surprise...she has not been around a Tom until yesterday so I imagine it will be 2-3 weeks before her eggs will be fertile- that is if my Tom figures out what to do- so far, he is just strutting and drumming. I have not seen him try to mount the hens yet....

Wondering if the hen will call all day during breeding season or is it just stress from being in a new environment- she free ranged at her prior location and now is in a pen for a while till she knows where "home" is
