What is this bird

[Chicks4evan]

I found this little one outside my barn. Not sure what it is. We have chickens but they have not hatched any eggs and no rooster on site. Is this a chicken or some other type of bird?
Thanks for any insight.

Sorry I don't know. I would think some wild bird. The next few weeks should reveal what it is? Does it fly?

That is a turkey

That is really cool CCL7, is it possible that it is a 'wild' turkey chick that somehow found it's way to Chicks4evan's barn, because it became separated from it's own brood?
