Link the thread you posted the turken on


Cool, what have you planted?

We planted 4 varieties of tomatoes (2 slicing varieties, a small salad variety and cherry tomatoes), okra, squash, cucumbers, bell peppers, banana peppers, and dill. Small garden but if everything produces well we will be overflowing with produce.
Here are the comb picture of our turken I posted on BYC.

Here is the thread link. My post is #4142

All the answers I got said girl. I am really hoping they are right. I will likely post again when the chicks are older to make sure genders are right. I'm not good at sexing single comb chicks since I have no experience with them. Our first chicks were EEs and the only single comb chicks we got the first time around (last year) were sexed when we bought them.

Maybe that will work.
I sure hope the people on the Naked Neck thread are right about it being a girl. If it's a boy it gets a new home. My DH is already not a huge fan of the turkens, but he let me get this one because I wanted it ! My kids like it, they call it Shaved Neck! I'll see what it looks like by the end of the month. By then gender should be definate. Fortunately my polish and my frizzle have been determined girls. That's the other 2 I really hoped were girls because they are unique. DH wanted the leghorns we got and I've been told both of them are girls too, so DH is happy about that.

Hm, when you can try and get a less blurry pic. I cant see how red her comb is. But I'm starting to agree, it does look like a pullet. Mine turken was looked a lot like yours and i was told it was a male (correct) sorry to scare you

Yeah the comb isn't really red. I'll get some better pictures soon. It just takes a little coordination and planning! NN seem to be difficult to sex. I knew if I posted on the NN thread on BYC that one of the big breeder experts would have pretty good guesses on what gender I had. I did the same for the other breeds of chicks. When I posted my cochins on their breed thread I got told one of the 3 was a roo, and I was surpised since I thought they all 3 had the same amount of comb developement. I'm starting to see this week more comb in the one they said was a roo though . I'll get more pics soon and ask again on BYC. Once all the genders are definate we will have to start getting rid of the roos we don't want to keep. I'm only planning on keeping one roo this time for the flock and that one has already been determined.

Ya just looks like it has a stripe of red. NN do seem hard to sex

Do you still have the cochin? NN isnt my area of expertise, but Cochins sure are

Whats funny is you said sexing single combs is hard, i find them easiest !!

 

[marlowmanor]

Yep still have all 10 chicks.

Here is the link to the thread I posted my cochin combs on. Not the best pictures I know. I was told my blue cochin is a boy and the other 2 are girls.

I'm not sure they are right though because they all looked to have the same amount of comb development (very little) at the time.

Well your 'blue mottled' is most likely splash

Honestly, your frizzle looks more like a rooster then your black. The frizzle has some red, yet the black doesnt

How old are they? If they're 7 weeks they look like all pullets

ome of the red look may honestly be the lighting. They are 7-8 weeks old in those pictures. People said the "blue mottled" was likely a splash. I thought it may end up a splash when I got it as a chick but the way it has colored in has me confused. I always thought the splash would be more white dominant with the colored splotches and that chick right now looks more blue based with white splotches. Guess I will just enjoy watching how she feathers in! My goal was some color variety in my flock and I am getting it with these chicks!

Guess getting better pictures is a definate must.
