Is my Turken a male or female ?

[Leelu13]

picked up 6 turken hatchlings back in September - not sure of the sex of them but one looks ...not like the others. Almost 3 months old now. No crowing yet,but ...I’ve uploaded a few closeups of her/him-and of the other turkens we got at the same time. Any help would be appreciated.

I think you can safely assume you've got a handsome boy there. Turkens are great chickens.

Looks like a cockerel to me.

Agree with Table4Six. The white bird with black/gray markings is a cockerel. The gold bird in the first picture with him is a pullet.

The white one looks like a roo. I got turken earlier this year and from what i’ve seen it takes the pullets a while to grow in their comb and waddle

uh oh! The other white one with the Golden is another bird all together! The crown wasn’t quite as pronounced or red, so wasn’t sure if it was a roo or not. You think this one is a rooster as well?

Nope. You're good. @JedJackson was just saying the gold bird was a pullet, which means she is a young hen. Only one cockerel/young roo there.

No, I was saying it was a pullet, which is a female under the age of 1 year old. Sorry for the confusion. They are nice looking birds.

Thank you for the clarification. This is all new to me. Quote the learning experience!
