Male or Female? 5 Week Old Turken

[Shaggyhag]

We have been raising a turken, AKA Turk Knobbleneck, we think may be a male. It is 5 weeks old to the day, let me know what you think...

Maybe and maybe not. Don't get rid of it just yet.

I agree with Sourland. Turkens can be difficult. This one needs another couple of weeks to be sure I think.

Can I see his or her picture next to the other chicks? Don't be sure on gender though until she/he crows!

The other chicks are Americaunas. The Turken came with as an added surprise! I'll take a few more pics and post soon. Thank you for your replies!

Here are some pics from this morning. Beatiful bird with a lot of character! Really hoping this one isn't a rooster!!!

The top picture makes me think rooster, but the other two still make me doubtful.

The longer I do this, the less I think I will get stumped. Then one comes along and I just have no idea! LOL

Such a beautiful bird!! Someone is lucky to have such a beautiful bird I think it may be a rooster but don't worry! That doesn't always mean you to get rid if him if it's about aggression with more roosters the Turkin I have is very mild manner and knows his place is under my RIR rooster. I'm guessing it's because he's much smaller and fits in with the hens
