We got 2 BBW Turkeys last week, on Monday, but we got home and one of them had I comb I noticed. My question: what breed could he be? Meat bird or egg layer you think? I’ve been told by a couple of folks that he’s not a CX (Cornish X), but most likely a California White or a Leghorn. 😐🤯
What do you think?

His head has pink on it, and that could mean he’s a meat bird or been vaccinated right?
There’s also a gray streak in his chick fluff,

And a gray feather growing in on his chest.
How old is he? I’m not sure. My guess on age is 1.5 weeks up to 3 or even 4 weeks old. He’s growing some wisps of feathers on his chest, neck, ‘shoulders’, and down his back. Tell me if you need better pics.
 
Don't see the pink, I would guess laying cockerel.
Okay. Yes, I can see it in person much better. I’ve just seen vaccinated chicks and some meat chicks have all had that pink on the back of their heads. Could be marked for something, don’t know exactly what. But the pink has faded from when I first got him, so the picture doesn’t show it as well.
