Giant Easter Egger Pullet or Turkey?

[Brady29]

Anyone familiar with Easter Eggers? This one is twice the size of the others, legs like tree trunks, is it a cockerel, turkey, thyroid problem? Help!

Are they all the same age? Where did you get the chicks? Hatch them yourself? Hatchery? Private breeder? Feed store?

I got them at rural king, they were all together, she was slightly larger then as well.

That's a pretty large chunky easter egger! Slight chance of might actually be a little cockerel?

Are you aware that baby chickens double in size each week for the first ten weeks? That jumbo size chick is likely two weeks older than the others. It was probably left over from a previous shipment when a new shipment of chicks were placed in the tank with it.

I do have 4 sapphire gems that i raised also, one being a replacement that was a week apart from the others. She was only slightly smaller than the others. These were more similar in size originally and thought she was probably a few days to a week older then but her growth has increased dramatically.

Definitely not a turkey. It could be some sort of dark Cornish cross
