This is my 4 month old broad breasted white turkey it acts like a male but no spurs I’m still confused on what gender it is

That looks like a hen to me.
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.

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.
