I have 14 pullets and this one Turkey who is my very favorite of all my birds.
Can you tell me if it is a Male or Female? 9 weeks old.






 
The coloring makes me think female, but i am a chicken fan mostly i do have some knowledge of turkeys
 
I am going to guess female. The wattle doesn't look as large as the ones on my 5 week old toms. She/He looks terrifically healthy though. Nice job !
 
Is it true that male turkey's head are blueish, and a female turkey's head is not? And how can you tell how old they are?
