Unknown Baby Bird found in Chicken Pen?

I wss wondering if its a turkey poult also. The comb area looks a little odd for a chicken. But I'm definitely not a turkey expert!

That's what I was thinking & it's what was throwing me off! I'm no turkey expert either!

A poult is possible. Looks similar to what my royal palms did when they hatched

I will look those up! Thank you!

I'm thinking it looks like a turkey poult. Having never raised them, I'm not sure but it does not look like a chicken chick to me. Here is a picture I found online of turkey poults, looks kinda like your little one!

It does look very similar! Thank you!

I need to ask my husband...I have some leftover chick starter. I'm away from home for a couple of days!

Looks like a chicken to me. Also looks a bit sickly.

I agree it doesn't look good! I wish I was home, so I could assess it better. We will keep it separate.

My husband said it was a baby vulture but I looked them up and it is defiantly not a baby vulture I looked at baby turkeys and I am pretty sure it is a baby turkey

We looked up baby vultures too...we have Turkey Vultures here & they look totally different! Thank you! I'm definitely leaning towards turkey!

Wait for it to sleep, I was at a farm store a few years ago and they had baby turkeys. One of the turkeys was laying down on it's side all sprawled out and I thought it was dead, we went and found someone that worked there and he seemed kinda annoyed, walked over, tapped the chick and it jumped right up. He said that that was just how they sleep and than this was like the 5th time that had happened that day... not sure if that was just that one weird one or if it really is all turkeys, I've never had turkeys, just thought I'd throw that out there.
