What sex/age are my turkeys?

[turkeygirl]

I have two turkeys, a Bourbon Red and a Royal Palm. I think they are quite adorable but am wondering if anyone can tell what sex they are yet. I have had them for about a month but I dont know how old they were when we got them. Any help is much appreciated!



Royal Palm

Bourbon Red:

and no, they are not in my houseXD We have a trailer we dont use anymore that they use when its really hot or cold until we build a full enclosure for them!

My heritage birds started losing head feathers around six weeks old, maybe 5 1/2. It looks like the Royal Palm has lost quite a few head feathers, and maybe the bourbon red has only lost a few, so I would put them right around the six week mark. It's a little early to tell the sex. They will change A LOT

in the next three weeks, and you should be able to guess the sex by then, but it still won't be a sure thing. I have 14 heritage turkeys this year. They are 10 1/2 weeks. I'm pretty sure about 9 toms and 3 hens, but I have two Bourbon Reds that I still can't decide on ( I think they are a tom and a hen). If you read enough threads, you will find that uncertainty happens when sexing turkeys!

Have fun with them!!!

I am by no means a expert. Just wanted to say they are cute! This is my 1st year with turkeys. I have 7 of them. Bronze and black Spanish. I think mine are adorable too!

I was wondering if they were just living in your bathroom there!

funny! great pictures of them!
