Need some help

So, when I went to lock up my chickens tonight, there was a small turkey in their run chirping.
I'm in need of any advice on raising a turkey and and how to sex it.

Post pictures of the poult. If it is a wild turkey, you need to turn it over to your local game warden or DNR agent since it is illegal to take possession of a live wild turkey.

Where I'm at on the gulf coast we don't have wild turkeys around. The closest are @ 100 miles away.

It's a Bronze turkey which is what wild turkeys are.

As for sexing, it is far too young to be sexed from photos.

Have you checked with neighbors to see if they have lost any poults?
