Hi there, just wondering if you can tell me what you look for in that photo to determine its a hen? I have my first turkeys and I can mostly tell by behavior. When they’re calm and not strutting or showing off, they all look like that photo imo haha.That looks like a hen to me.
Small snood and caruncles. It can't be seen in this photo but she has a "mohawk". It is a strip of feathers that runs up the back of the neck and on top of the head. Toms end up with a bare head, no feathers at all and only a few hairs.Hi there, just wondering if you can tell me what you look for in that photo to determine its a hen?
