Is my Turken a hen or a roo?

[Backyardwitch]

I’m having a hard time figuring out if my naked neck bb is a boy or girl. He/she is about 13 weeks old and is huge! Almost as big as my 3 year old Brahma. I’ve never had a rooster, so I’m curious if anyone can help me distinguish any characteristics that might help me come to a conclusion. Thanks a bunch!

Definitely a male.

Thank you! That’s what I’m thinking!

No question, it’s a boy! Much like my naked neck he had huge wattles by 12-13 weeks!! Now at 20 weeks they are bigger than I’ve ever seen on a chicken.

Haha! Wow! Thank you! I’m excited! He’s very sweet and really loves cuddles and is just so silly!

Oh and to answer the second half of your post, the bright red color + size of the comb and wattles, with the addition of male specific feathers in the saddle area are how I’ve learned to tell male vs female from this forum!
