What can you tell me about our 4-5 month old turkey?

[Icclow]

New to turkeys... can you tell me bred, sex? I say male because of the strutting, especially when some one new visits or a new chicken is being introduced. My brother says female... I can admit when I’m wrong, but not sure he can!

Don't know much about Turkeys but that's definitely a male.

Well I guess he is a he, BUT hens can and will strut as well

The breed is Turkey. The variety may be a Red Bronze based on the brown feathers starting to show up in the tail.

The snood is awfully small for a tom but the bald head and the dark lower edges on the breast feathers are traits of toms.

Hens can and do strut also so strutting on its own is not an indicator of the sex. I will say that it is most likely a tom.
