Is this a turkey poult or a chicken chick?

[LT1Pat]

Someone threw some baby chickens or turkeys over the fence where my girlfriend has been raising adult chickens. There are what appear to be two baby chicks but the third is much larger which could be a turkey. Please help identify.

The larger one is a Cornish x, a meat bird.

That's a chick....a broiler(meat bird) by the looks of it

Those are chickens, and I agree that the big one is some type of meat bird.

Agreed... Cornish cross chicken, which is a meat bird, and probably a cockerel with that comb.

Awesome, thanks! This seems like a really active community!

What is wrong with people?? These must have been the dreaded Easter gifts that keep on giving and whomever bought them didn't think it through. At least they thought enough to put them where they might have a fighting chance. Thanks for taking them in. These chicks will surely be loving additions to you flock.

We assumed they were TSC Easter gifts. Her chickens are visible from a neighboring business that gets a lot of traffic so I assume that's how they figured out where to dump them.

Any ideas what breed this one is? This is one of the smaller ones.
