I have a no neck.. gender ideas 💡

[Martiver4]

I have a turkin, or naked neck
I'm not sure if a roo or hen as I'm new to this breed. I want to say Georgie or gorgina may be 5 to 6 weeks old

Can go either way honestly. I am seeing a bit of wattle and comb growth which could mean cockerel.

Looking like a boy to me

I would say likely boy, but I have also seen female turkens that grow their wattles and comb fairly quickly.

That's my fear also... SMH

Same, I was hoping someone would disagree lol

I guess we'll just waited and see.... do you know how many weeks till I can notice more?

I would say if you’re worried about it and want to rehome now, I probably would go for it because I think it’s most likely a boy. However I think by 10-12 weeks you would know for sure.

I have a couple of chicks that are cross between showgirl (NN) silkie and olive egger, that are about 15 weeks old. I thought they would be easy to figure out the gender but I am still not positive on either one. You’ll have a much easier time with the turken

Thats exactly what my girl looked like at htat age. Her comb grew fast but stayed pale pink for a loooong time

Yeah I’ve noticed that a lot of turkens grow comb and wattles really fast, male and female! The color does seem to be a good indicator for them!
