Tom or hen?

[casportpony]

Absolutely, although it can also just be a long straight dropping where hens will drop theirs in a pile.

Sorry I don't take poop photos or I would post a shot of both. You can try doing a search of this forum since there are photos of male turkey droppings already posted.

Are we talking regular poop or cecal poop?

Can anyone help me decide if my two juvenile turkeys are toms or hens? I thought they were both toms, but I just want to make sure. One is red bourbon and the other is Narragansett.. thank you!!
