When do turkeys gobble?

[Kessel23]

I have a Broad breasted bronze Jake who is 24 weeks old and is not gobbling yet, I was wondering when he will start? I saw someone post on here about their turkeys gobbling when they were only 14 weeks old. Is this one just late to mature? He still has a Mohawk but his snood is much longer than his beak, he has a beard, he is starting to grow spurs, and he has been trying to mate with the hens for a while but they ignore him. He is also displaying all the time and he gets in fights with my roosters.

Mine only gobbled in spring time after they were like a year old. And they gobbled at every little noise!!! Shut a door, gobble gobble! Open a window, gobble gobble! Talk loud, gobble gobble! And so on......lol

Every one is different just as each situation is different. If there is an adult tom around, a juvenile tom is less likely to gobble or strut in order to not draw attention to itself. Juveniles that are not around other adult males frequently seem more precocious.

My young toms rarely strut or gobble because I have an adult tom that does not tolerate it. Off on their own and out of his sight they will sometimes do both.

I just had a visitor and of course the presence of someone new caused all of the toms to go off simultaneously multiple times.
