Turkey male or female?

Sweet! Mine are about the same age. Are yours strutting yet?

I don’t know I’ve never had Turkeys before.

Strutting is dragging the wing and dancing around. Typically males do that. I agree they're too young, but I have a feeling you have two females. Males will gobble too and females don't. But I'm not sure when they start that.

Probably still too young. I'm still sticking with two females, so keep us updated.

The only distinction I can make between the two is on has slightly larger wings to where they cross over and the other one seems to have wings that line up down the center of its backs but I’m not getting my hopes up.

Sometimes (I'm not experienced enough to say always) males of the same age grow to be larger than females of the same age. I raised four turkeys almost to maturity before a dumb dog got them. Now I have a pair of adults and two little cutie poults that are a couple weeks old. So I'll be guessing sex on them in a few months too.

Yeah they are the same size.

Generally you can tell by 3-4 months of age. Some young toms strut, others don't.

They crack me up. Yes love them.
