Awesome info! Thank you so much. Now I know the proper term for their “nose worms” 😆

Good to know. I was told otherwise by the breeder. Clearly you are correct and the breeder was misinformed. That being said, what is the easiest way to tell them apart when they are young (hopefully before they start laying)?

Thanks everyone!

The photos are two different birds.

I forgot to add (it is a bit difficult to tell in the photos) the one that looks like a male has more red on their head, but the the waddle thing is not long. Also, their mother has chest hair. Is that normal or do I have weird hormonal turkeys?

I have a young pair of Sweetgrass turkeys. One has the typical lighter female markings and one has darker typically male markings. I assumed I had a male and female. Strangely I am finding 2 eggs a day in their run. They are housed with peafowl so I thought it might be an egg from my peahen but...

Hahaha! Funny cavemanrich! I will try fake eggs. Thanks for the advice everyone. I didn’t realize pigeons were the rabbits of the bird world.

Hi there, I’m fairly new to pigeons. This was my first year breeding Lahore. I have a pair of birds that will not stop laying! They have raised 12 babies this year! They have been laying since February. I live in Canada. I collected there first clutch not realizing that they would just keep...

I just want to know what to call them if someone asks. I plan on selling some of the females.

Light colour adult (I think this is a female) *all the birds in the photos have the same parents

Light colored juvenile

Normal Italian juvenile (same bird in both photos)

Side by side comparison of day old and week old chicks.

I see the tiny bit of white. I will look for more on my bird. This is my first pair or peafowl. I would like to get into some of the other colour mutations later on down the road.
