Sexing by dropping shape

[turkeynut]

I just joined this sight, read the posts about sexing by shape of droppings. The folks that laughed at this must be chicken people. It is true that in young poults, the dropping shapes are different for jakes and hens. Of course it requires a lot of observation and time spent with poults, which can be fun!
Try it turkey people! Also this is very well documented at several web pages and Heritage Turkey forums

Thanks

Do you have any pics? I've never heard of it but I'd love to try it.

I have always heard a jakes poo is J shaped. I have seen different shaped poops while trying to doge them in the pasture, but never followed any around to see whos was whos.
