Got these chicks (and turkey) on March 4th so they’re around 10 weeks. Any ideas? Also I am aware #1 is bald he is recovering

2,3 and 4 look like pullets.

I can't see it really well, but the head shot on the turkey looks like it is a Tom. But you won't know for certain for a few more weeks. There is a theory that if you pick up a turkey and they let their legs dangle, that is a hen. If they pull up, that is a Tom. Obviously nothing scientific there and probably unreliable. The most defining factor will be shiny, pronounced breast feathers.

Not sure what is going on there with #1. What breed is it?
