Pointed masculine feathering doesn't emerge for most cockerels until 12-14 weeks old. Give him a little more time!
As far as making hen noises, every chicken I've owned, male or female, makes similar noises when young, and my adult roosters cluck sometimes as well. I don't think you can really judge by vocalizations, unless a bird is crowing at this age in which case it's almost assuredly a rooster. (A lack of crowing does not necessarily mean they aren't a rooster, though! )
Ok….. I’ve waited loooonnggg enough, so the turken is about 14 weeks now. I still don’t see any saddle feathers. Do you guys still think it’s a rooster?A lot of people don't find them very attractive, so they don't seem very popular, but there are some naked neck threads on the site. I love them, personally! I was finally able to get one this year after wanting them for a long time, a little bantam pullet just a few weeks older than your little guy. I don't have any very recent pictures of her, but this was her a few weeks ago. She has since grown in a large tail that makes her strongly resemble an Australian bush-turkey.

Thank you, I absolutely adore him. He’s so handsome with his Elvis hairdoThis, plus that's a lot of red.
Now, that said, my Turken girl had me questioning for a long time. And yours isn't pure Turken, so it may be developing differently, but I'm thinking not.
Oh, he's a special bird! Such a wild mixture! He's a keeper!
