I have 2 Bourbon Reds that are about 6 months old. These are our first turkeys and I'm not finding alot of information about sexing turkeys online anywhere. What do you think Jennys or Jakes?

The one on the left is a tom.

I can't see enough of the other one to tell anything. Check its breast feathers. If the breast feathers have a light colored lower edge, it is a hen, if they have a dark or black lower edge, it is a tom.

This only works on dark colored turkeys that already have their adult breast feathers.
