How do you determine the sex of Eastern Wild Turkeys?

Posted at: 2014-11-15 
The sex of wild turkeys should be determined by looking at the breast feathers.

MALE- Breadt feathers are black tipped

FEMALE-Breast feathers are brown or buff tipped

The males usually have a beard on their chests. At some point it becomes obvious because of the plumage but the beard may be the easiest way to tell.

By examining their undercarriage and if they have a dick then it makes them male.
