Husband wanted to try out turkeys...

Congrats on your turkeys! Your coop is nice and I think you will be happy with it for many years. I had 2 poults last year so now this year i feel like a pro LOL. They were named Stuffed and Roasted last year, but I think this year...I think Lunch and Dinner. Thanksgiving was so much more satisfying this past year, knowing what effort went into growing it from a tiny thing to a gentle beast I could barely lift into the truck. I don't think you will be disappointed.

Keep an eye on the snoods - boys will be bigger earlier. We got ours at around 4 weeks old and eyeballing them, I guessed 3 boys two girls, but was on the fence about one of the boys. Turned out to be spot on tho.

Can't see a size difference yet.

Can't tell anything at this time. The toms will start growing their wattles bigger than the hens at 3 weeks. The hens will catch up on the wattles by 4 to 5 weeks.

No differences other than a redder head.
Everything has grown the same on them.
But maybe it reddens up when it's mad, like some people do.

Well that's a pretty short time frame. . Not fair!

Yes, they definitely do.
