Sex link turkey poults?!

[Kennas_Kritters]

I just got 3 Turkey poults that are a cross of a royal palm Tom over a Blue slate hen. I was told on BYC that they are actually sex link?! I don't see any differences in them right now so I would like to know what age they can be sexed at? They are only a few days old. I'll love them either way but I'm hoping to get 1 Tom and 2 hens. Any info on sex links helps! Thanks.

You should be able to sex them the same time you can sex any other varieties. Usually thhey can be sexed when they are 3 months old except for late developing toms which may take as long as 6 months.
