Turken : Rooster or Hen?

[undrcroft]

Hello, new to the site and I need some expert opinions. I've added 6 new 'hens' to my flock, but not sure about one of them being a hen. Its a turken and I dont have any others for comparison. It has grown really fast, the size and color of the comb on top is a bit worrying, but I've seen females online with big pointy combs on top. I want to keep 'her' but I need to know if I need to find 'him' a good home. Thanks
Update: the age should be around 8-9 weeks. I put 2 Rhode Islands next to it for comparison. All the other birds still have little yellow combs. They are all around the same age.

How old is the bird? How does the comb development compare to others of the same age. Sure can't go by hackle feathers

. General appearance is that of a young cockerel.

The feathers look really strange on this bird. Seems stringy.

I agree we need the age.

I'd say it's a male, but I'm not 100% certain.. My NN single comb boys were much more developed way earlier, but the girls were not this developed until over 16 weeks.

Probably a cockerel. Post some more photos in a few weeks for another opinion.
