Hello
This is my first time ever having turkeys and I am so lost with sexing mine.
I started with 3 turkeys but lost one as a poult so now I just have one bourbon red and one blue slate. They are currently about 8 months old.
The bourbon red is much more friendly so I have more photos of ‘him’ than the blue slate, so I am mainly wondering if you can help sex my bourbon red.

I have never heard a gobble from either of them, and have never seen them strut.

These photos range in age, he is between 5-8 months in all of these photos.

The Bourbon Red is a hen. Hard to say for sure but the Slate also appears to be a hen.
 
Two hens. Need a Tom if you want fertile eggs to hatch. They should start laying almost any time now. Tom turkeys show up regularly on Craigslist for low dollars. I have two nice bronze Toms and would gladly give one to you if you lived close enough.
