So I was leaning twords female for my turkey poult. Dainty small form her noises etc. But yesterday she pooffed up (forgot what itds called....strutting maybe). Then again today when I put a rabbit in the pen with him. I couldn't get get vids of pic of them but I tried. Its around 8 weeks. Thoughts? This is my first turkey
 
It's really hard to full proof tell what they are when young. There are certain things you can use to guess and watch as they grow (snood size, leg width, caruncle growth). I think depending on the color at a certain age you can sex them by the color on the tips of their feathers. I've never used that myself though because by the time I noticed I've usually sexed them with other signs. Pictures might help definitely.
