Help!!! found this baby hiding under my truck.... not sure if its a turkey or chicken, or if its a w

OK......... Curiosity is killing me! After a lot of Googling........ The nearest that I can come to finding a bird that compares, is a chicken/guinea cross.

Do you have more pictures yet?

Wow, the FeatherSite page referred to in Tyrosinase' post has some very (ahem) unusual-looking crossbreeds. This one in particular.

Enough to give a person nightmares! Yikes

IT'S SO ANGRY!

Lol that is one scary looking bird, fingers crossed mine doesn't turn out like that.... Its doing ok today, keeps scratching its face, I'm assuming it itches from the healing/scabbing process, it keeps scratching and making its eye lid bleed

I'll take some better pics later tonight

It looks like a chicken to me. It looks like it has a comb.

Here are some more pictures

close up of injured eye



you can see clearly where part of the beak is missing


I know this looks odd but I swear it likes to sleep like this on my lap...




I cut a whole in a washcloth and slipped it over its head to keep it from scratching.

Looking at these pics it really does resemble a chicken maybe its face is just really swollen or something...

I know its a chicken but I just don't know what type it is.
