Naked Neck Turken-Sex?

[fourfeathers]

Wiggy is around 5 weeks of age. What do you all think, girl or boy? Anyone with experience with turkens and what type of demeanor they have? I operate a rescue/sanctuary for special needs birds, and can only keep the physically challenged or very small roos because most of mine are at a disadvantage. Able-bodied hens I need because it seems I have quite a few roos so am hoping Wig is a girl.

Honestly, I don't know if they are all this difficult but my two were almost impossible to sex. I can usually sex my chickens extremely early. My Turkens had to get almost big enough to eat me before I finally decided they were, indeed, girls. Good luck. She is adorable!!! Oh, and not that it helps after saying all that, but to me, she looks VERY girly.

This is Sunny. 6weeks old NN. Female right? This is my first year having chickens. I got a variety including 2 NN which are my favorite.

It's like my blue NN but my NN red is really red but I see hens that are very red too! Guess I'll have to wait!
