Looks like a hen, and she is looking like she is molting.

If you have pictures we can help ya, usually by now they should be laying or crowing, but pictures will surely help us be able to tell what you have.

I have also inherited a Turken, thought it was a hen, but noticed 1 1/2 inch spurs on it. Hen or rooster? Haven't heard a crow yet...

This bird looks to be a hen, can you get a better pic? I don't know why none of the pics are enlarging lately, but I can't see detail well enough to be sure. How old is it?

Spurs aren't a good indicator of gender as hens can grow some wicked spurs, and some roosters don't get hardly any until over a year old.
