This is Turk. I'm completely up in the air about this one.

One minute we think hen and the next we think roo. Turk is about 12 weeks old now. His/Her comb and wattles have been red for a while but haven't gotten much larger.

So, can anyone look at how Turk is feathering out to see if they can get a better idea? Turk isn't going anywhere either way but it's just driving me crazy.

According to the answers I recieved from posting on here before, the consensus says that Turk is a EE even though there are no fluffy cheeks. He/She has grayish green legs and looked like a chipmunk as a chick.

Turk is very good natured and friendly. I'm happy either way. It seemed as if Turk was going to be a roo at about 6 weeks because his/her face and features were turning red but there have been no changes with it since then.
 
Looks like everyone is thinking that Turk's a she.

What's really strange is that out of 12 chicks that were straight run only 2 (possibly 1) are roos. I was kind of hoping for 3 roos. 1 for each little flock. But all is good regardless. Now, I'm just waiting to see about one of my light brahmas I'm pretty sure is a roo. His face is bright red compared to the other lt. brahma. The only "for sure" rooster is a tiny little silver duckwing bantam. Even though he has the attitude I don't know if he can keep 15 girls in line.
Thank you all for your responses.
