I recently crossed my Turken Roo with some Isa brown hens and was wondering which of the chicks are roosters or pullets.The first photo is the Turken dad.
My fiance came home with a turken pullet last night as a surprise for me, he's so sweet. I have questions. Do they require extra care? Do their bare necks need protection from the sun? Google said they'll need neck protection during winter, what should I use? Also when they're fully grown is...
I just got this cute fellow today. When we got home I noticed this bulgy spot on his neck. It’s soft and kinda squishy. I’ve never heard of naked necks until today. Is this normal or is something wrong?
My last post was a jumble mess so im kind of reasking?
I have a rooster just so happens he's a naked neck one. He's pretty big actually and fat so his weight i think is perfect. This week on we are in the single digits to just bellow zero. We have been getting high winds and it makes it that...
1 Turken, 2 Starlight Green Eggers, 3 Dominiques around 4 weeks of age. I posted these pics on a couple of Facebook Groups, as well. My husband and I are not allowed roo's where we live.

I’m a first time Turken owner and have 2 seven week old Turkens. They were in a pullet bin when I got them as day old chicks but I can’t seem to figure out if they are hens or roos from all my research online! Whenever I’ve gotten chickens before it’s always been super obvious. I’ve named them...
About 5 weeks ago we hatched our first egg. It was a surprise breed.... SURPRISE: Turken! although I’ve recently found out there are Turken Bantams as well, I don’t know the distinction at this age.
Anyway, my urgent matter at this stage is to figure out the sex. We live in a “No Rooster”...
hello! I have been trying to figure out who’s who in my Turken flock. Can y’all please help me with who’s a hen and who’s a roo? They are about 17 weeks old.
I'm a proud chicken mama, lol. My al6 month old turken,Fifi (she's the turken in my profile picture) laid her first egg this week. Actually 2 eggs from her thus week, so she's putting her Australorp sisters to shame. They are all the same age and I think we've maybe gotten 1 egg from between...
I have a turken chick that's about two days old and she can't open her wings because her skin had grown over the feathers and sealed them in place, and continues to do so at they grow longer. While all the other chicks have tiny feathers she only has one or two per wing because all the others...
Just here for some tips on adding about 12 baby chicks that are very close to being big enough to join the big girls outside! About a month ago, I added 2 Easter eggers & 2 barred rocks to my flock and it went well but not to well..as they are okay now and get along. I also have 2 turkens that...
I finally managed to get better pics of my mystery turken today. Comparing this one to the one we know is a cockerel, I’m leaning more towards pullet now. While both have crowns that are much bigger than our other turkens, this one is slightly smaller and less red. Still, we are new at this and...
picked up 6 turken hatchlings back in September - not sure of the sex of them but one looks ...not like the others. Almost 3 months old now. No crowing yet,but ...I’ve uploaded a few closeups of her/him-and of the other turkens we got at the same time. Any help would be appreciated.
Yes. Exactly. Straight out of the land of vampires comes the turken aka naked neck.
Since I live there, this is the most common breed found in pretty much every countryside household (as local tradition says; one MUST own chickens). One hundred years ago, they used to be the only breed around...
