Is this a female?

[PolloGal]

I’ve seen the other two that I have strut so I know they are probably boys. Can anyone tell if this might be a girl? About three weeks old - bourbon red.

hens will strut too just as a warning. turkeys have always been rough to gender for me since hens will mimic gobblers.

Thanks. I knew that but thought it just wasn’t common. I was hoping that someone may be able to tell by the tail or head or something. I just can’t tell.

turkeys are the master of keeping genders secret until they're way older. hopefully someone can answer better but it may be a "wait til theyre older" thing

Too young to tell from photos.

Strutting at a young age is not a guarantee of being a male. Others have had young strutters that turned out to be hens.

How about size at this age? Are the males typically larger in size than the females?
