Turkey poult or chick

[Bumblegoat]

Hey all - so we ordered 10 chicks and this one has been bigger than the rest since day one. He has a bump between his eyes that resembles a snood.

Just looking for verification. Is there a large chicken breed out there with a bump like this?

can you do a picture next to the other chicks

 

[Boccom]

or you can tell me if he is just twice the size of the others since I have seen baby chicks and turkey chick/poult turkey chicks are usually about twice the size of chicken chicks

That is a turkey.

 

[Boccom]

I thought so too

 

[Boccom]

just curious what are you gonna do with him since he is a turkey

It's a lovely healthy bird. Re-home or eat? We discussed getting a couple poults to raise for the holidays but decided not to.

 

[Boccom]

yeah that just confirms it their well I guess it could possibly be an abnormally head deformed chick but probably not

Plan to raise her with the chicks, try to find another turkey friend for her.
