This is a funny sight. The little male in the middle, would you believe, is the same age as the others. He doesn't seem to be growing at the same rate as them for some reason. We thought he was a female, until yesterday when he did this display.

Yes, and they taste fantastic. :yum:

I still think that may be a hen, they display too!
Looking at the size of it and the lack of snood I think you may just have a girlie there!!!

Really? I didn't realise the females did that too as I've never seen our others from last year do it. Also, this one is even so much smaller than the other girls. But interesting, thanks. :) I'll wait and see if he/she grows a snood (I'm assuming that's the little hangy-down bit from the top of their head!).

I didn't realise till a friend of mine (turkey expert and judge) told me!!!

Of course you may have an extremely rare, never before seen, bantam turkey!!!! ;) :D ;D
