Turken is this beauty a Roo or Pullet?

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

If it puts you at ease, I have one that we are sure is a Rooster. 6 weeks old and look at his comb.

Yes, your's is a little cockerel. My little white nn's look like that too. Those wattles are going to be growing a lot bigger though as he mature's, like my rooster Charley in my avatar.

My turken definitely has that... another reason I'm a little suspicious. Might be hard to see in the picture. Other picture shows a little more wattle growth.

Keep in mind that people are cross-breeding the naked neck's with other breed's, so if your's is one of those, that could be why.
