The fuzzy spot on the top of the head I believe is the start of the snood, which isn't an indication of gender : ) In a few weeks/months we may be able to help you sex them ^^ How many little ones did you get? Turkeys are one of the first things I'll be getting once I get more space/property <3

There is no way to accurately sex your poult at this time. Approximately 3 months old is usually the youngest age that turkeys can be sexed from photos.

By the time the poult is 6 months old you should be able to sex the turkey from the size of its snood. The snood is the bump that you are referring to.

I hope this is not your only poult as they are very social and should be raised with others of their own kind.

I have other poultry but not turkeys I have chickens but when my turkey grows up it will be with a goat and a pot belly pig do you think that's fine?

No, if this is to be a pet, it needs other turkeys for companionship. If it is going to be processed for food then it is a different story.
