I know it's been a long time, but if you happen to see this - what did your turken turn out to be? Mine is looking very similar and I am a little worried.

Rachm1, post pics of your chick. I'm interested in knowing how the other turken on this thread turned out, though, it looked pulletish to me

Your bird looks pulletish to me despite the fact her face is red. I'm basing my opinion on the small size of the comb, almost non-existing wattles, and overall body appearance. However, I think it's worth to post pics again in 2-3 weeks for confirmation. She's beautiful!

I say pullet, females, for both people that posted.

Thank you! I'll post again in a couple weeks.

My turken pullets had red in the face early too. For awhile we thought they were cockerels due to combs etc but nope, definitely female.

Thanks! That is reassuring - I was really hoping to keep her
