A tom turkey is the male of the two genders of turkey there is female and a male, how to tell the difference is easy a tom or boy turkey will have a beard and they get the beard when they start to mature, when a boy turkey is small and has a smaller beard it is called a Jake which is kind of like a teenager. A beard is located at the center of the chest. Another way to tell the difference from a tom and a hen (full grown) is the tom will have a red head but if the tom turkey is an old turkey it will have a light blue faded head. The hens will have a white head.
