Finally seen a hen this morning with 6 poults look like they were 3 to 4 days old about 4 inches tall. With all the heavy rain this spring in northeast Oh. a lot of hens lost there first nest and renested.
oh man, never seen a poult....they are so sweet......lastnight i went to a friend's house and there they were roosting, a mommy and her baby, i went up to the them and i got to pet the poult, it didnt freak, it was under the mommy's wing, it was the sweetest thing you have ever seen......

No they arent born without beards. My tame turkeys (bourbon reds) are several months before you can sex them. Although sometimes the little guys like to strut even when only a week or two old. But now that dont strut at all, time will tell what sex they are.
