Turkin or Turkey?

[Gibbie]

I was told this was a baby Turkin when it was about 1-2 weeks old. Does anyone have an idea if it is truly a Turkin or perhaps a 2-3 month old baby Turkey? I am just not sure what it is.

Meat turken cockerel.

Chicken with a bad hair day, maybe a vulture cross (sorry, I have to throw in a bad joke or two!).

Meat turken cockerel.

Oh, I was getting confused because its legs are twice as big as the chicks of the same age. How do you tell it is a cockerel? When someone gave this baby they found to me I thought it wings told me it was going to be a hen

He has well a developed comb and wattles for his age. Cockerels develop sooner than pullets. Also feather sexing only works on certain crosses and is a trait that has to be bred for

Wing sexing has to be bred for, so it doesn't work.
The big, pink, comb and wattles scream male

Thank you. I appreciate you teaching me. I don’t have any experience with this bred.
