Royal Palm Turkeys

Hello
We got these two in March if I remember correctly. I figure the one on the left is a tom, but I'm not sure about the one on the right. Any guesses? I sure would like to have a pair.

Can we get a close-up of face and top of head?

Tom? What tom? I see two hens! IF they are as old as you said then they'd be gobbling and 'mounting' by then!

I'm guessing that you've heard of the myth that toms heads a supposed to have broader heads than females.. But really thats like saying a chick is a hen is it lays on it's back all calm and what not. My tom has a very narrow head and is slightly younger than Billiejw89's turkeys But he fans out and gobbles all the time.

Actually, I was looking for the Mohawk, they're too far away in the pic to tell for sure, but I suspect you're right.

Ok..here is a closer picture. Interesting.
So is the brown one a tom? It's about the same age, it's snood? flops to one side and is very red.

I'm not seeing any boys here.

 

[billiejw89]

Oh wow! I was afraid we had all boys lol I'd prefer a trio 1 male 2 female, but 3 hens are way better than 3 toms!! Thank you!

You'll love it when the eggs start coming.
