Sexed Turkeys?

Here are a few pics of him compared to the hen. I've also noticed that when our tom turkey Bruce came up to inspect them that the hen and the mystery turkey didn't seem to care much but the for sure tom came right up to him sizing him up and tried to fight through the fence. Not sure if that meant anything just thought i'd put it out there.
The only thing that it means for sure is that the turkey that tried to fight through the fence is the dominate turkey in the trio.

My impression is that you picked up one hen and two jakes. It would be helpful to have photos of the tops of their heads so it can be seen whether or not the top of the head is bald. Just judging from everything else such as the size of the caruncles compared to the for sure hen makes me believe there are two males in the group of three.

Hi! Its me again (Sorry if i'm being obnoxious) But I Found a guying who is willing to take both our royal palm toms but I'm still baffled whether or not if this guy us a hen or tom. She/he has barely grown any bigger then his sister and his snood hasn't gotten any bigger although he has formed a beard and his face is always red! I can try and get a picture of the top of his head but this pic was taken a couple of days ago. He does hace some feathers on the top of his head but not as much as his sister's

The turkey in this picture is a hen. Hens can grow beards. I currently have three hens that have beards.
