I notice that Turkens are considered to be fairly good dual purpose
birds. The naked neck gene is dominant so it would probably be
easy to get a naked neck Cornish. The Cornish tend to have a Popped two buttons look anyway.
Here in the deeeeep south its mostly hot with occasional spring days
in "winter" so a lightly dressed chicken makes sense.
I wonder if commercial chicken breeding isn't a bit conservative. You'd think broiler crosses would have adopted the less feathered Turken style.
I first saw
Turkens in South America and didn't know it was genetics. I thought
they had some strange tropical disease!
With their sunburned necks they are truly "Rednecked" chickens
birds. The naked neck gene is dominant so it would probably be
