It very much depends on how old your turkeys are. For an experienced person who does a lot of close observation of looks and behavior it is possible to tell at a very young age. If you are talking about very young poults, determining their sex is pretty much a guessing game that can be fun but rarely holds any value for other than amusement purposes.

Normally turkeys can be sexed by the time they are 6 months old except for a few late developing toms.
