I have a few Narragansett’s that I’ve been trying to sex, but I’m still not 100% sure. I wanted to get some opinions on here. They were born in the middle of April, so they’re going on about 9 months now. I’m thinking they’re all hens since I’ve never seen any of them strut or gobble. I also...

Looking for photos of coop builds and turkey enclosures.

@HeritageFan This is a photo of him before he lost his feathers. I’m not sure if it’s due to feather loss or the lighting in the other photo but he looks quite a bit darker here.

Here are photos of each hen
