Make or female beltsville?

[Anethema]

It is a 4 month old beltsville.

Just wondering on what the sex might be. Still has fuzz on the back of its neck which Ive read means female, but it fans out the tail sometimes to make the classic turkey shape which makes me question that. We incubated a few eggs but only one hatched so I don’t have anything to compare to. Anyone know ?

The head here is fairly red. It seems to change colour depending on if he’s excited etc. It is usually a paler pink.

If it is 4 months old, it is a hen. Hens can and do strut.
