Could also be a bad naked neck chicken or even a guinea fowl naked neck cross.

Definitely not a vulture. Vulture chicks are huge, and retain their down for quite a while, and do not resemble chickens at all. We had a pair of black vultures nest in a tree stump on our property this year. Those things make the op's chick look adorableI'd maybe check with your local fish and game. I'm not convinced it's a chicken, personally. Depending on where you live it'd be MUCH more likely to have a vulture chick booted from a nest than an exotic chicken breed.
I think you've nailed it there. Those birds look very similar to the OP's mystery bird.I would bet it's some sort of oriental gamefowl or a cross thereof. They are incredibly slow feathering and can look very turkey or vultureish. Here's a picture of some Asil chicks off of google, that look quite similar to the chick in question.
