What kind of turkey am I? How old am I? UPDATED W A TURKEY PIC!??

So 100% positive this is a rooster then? Crazy.

I tried to put the baby turkey in with the baby"rooster" and the rooster was chasing it around pecking at it. So then I tried to put the turkey in with my 9 week old chicks but the turkey is too big and could accidently step on one and hurt them.

So now he's all alone in one side of the container that is seperated by a screen from the others...I thought turkeys and chickens (roosters) got along?

I am loving BYC, thanks to everyone for your amusement, replies and patience!

Yep, that's a Rooster! 100 % sure of that.

I hope the roo/turk get along!

Didn't really want a rooster quite yet...geesh but thank you for your expertise!!

Your Welcome.

Roosters aren't that bad to have around. I like their crows. I can always tell if a new roo starts crowing because he has a different crow. I can tell all my roosters apart from their crows! lol

In fact, some of my favorite, sweetest, and tamest chickens have been roosters!

Doesn't look like a rooster to me. Why do you all think rooster?

The comb size has nothing to do with sex. I don't even look at the comb. I look at the feathers. This hen has a large comb too.

LOL

I guess I should post what is this in another category now being that it's not a turkey!!!

If you get the baby turkey back, I think you'll find that it's probably a bronze turkey. Good luck! I hope your neighbor gives it back.......but turkeys can steal your heart in an instant! ...so you may not......
