Are narragansett turkeys feather sexed like bronze turkeys?With diff lacing on the breast feathers?

Yes.

ok so when they start to feather i should be looking for the white lacing on the breast feathers on the hens and black tips on the toms. Thanks

Ok this what i have so far the 2 i mentioned earlier in this post with there heads being wider acrossed the top they strut around alot and sometimes they will hold it for 10 sec or more and they are just over 7 weeks and the one that is a little smaller hasnt.these are just some comparisons so far that a naked eye can see.2 with legs that are a little longer,legs alittle thicker its like comparing my pinky finger to my index finger.heads wider and back of heads more bald down neck.So from here on out within the next few weeks what should i be looking for if there toms.If i can get some good footage with my cam i will post it.

while one of my 8 wk old poults where strutting for another today it decided to start stomping like it was dancing.Now i have only seen adult toms do this in the wild while turkey hunting now do only toms do this or do hens do it too.It was one of the ones i think is a tom any input would b great thnx.

I noticed around week 8 that the hens feathers were a lighter gray/tan color.
Also the leg thickness and length is a good indication...hens shorter/narrow legs.
