She is so sweet. A little difficult to get good pics of, but she eats out of my hand. That's how I got her attention - food!

I have various chickens - including "RIRs", Turkens, Silkies, and EEs, Anconas, Cornish, Brown Leghorns, etc. I always have some sort of project going on - right now we're raising a batch of meaties. 4 rescued dogs. 4 rabbits, including 2 English Angoras! We also are branching out to Turkeys - right now 4 BBB, but 4 Midget White Turkeys are on the way!

I wish I knew what egg color they lay. I don't think they're laying yet, but I could be wrong. I really should separate them to find out who's laying what. I currently have two mystery eggs in the bator - I think the Salmon Favorelle laid one, and I honestly don't know who laid the other one. (I'd put in more, but my bator is full with all kinds of other eggs right now... Hubby doesn't know that I have even MORE eggs coming, 6 pure Turken eggs, and 4 Buttercups hide) I know for sure what my RIRs are laying, but other than that idunno

I guess that's my next step before I try to sell any eggs - to find out who's laying what!

ETA: I should state that I am trying to have a mixed Naked Neck flock. IF I have luck with hatching the buttercups, I plan on trying to breed a buttercup NN, etc. I really like the demeanor of the NNs. They are really cool birds! Plus, the rooster really isn't that loud - I have to watch because I live in town, and my last roosters were WAY too loud. This guy only crows a few times a day early in the morning, when he's inside the coop! I really lucked out!!!

My family can't understand why I love these two so much, but I think they're gorgeous. There3 are never enough pictures of NNs, in my opinion.

Okay, I got a photo of Freezer that I took the other day.  Can you tell he hates to be photographed?

That being said, I finally gave in & ordered a few hatchery ones...just for fun.  They'll be arriving in March.  My hubby's gonna think they're diseased, I'm sure.


Those are not red skinned....  wink

Yikes! The black skinned ones freak me out. That's one reason why I shot down the SO's idea to get showgirls. They're still neat looking, though. smile

LOL!  I figured  why not show off that black skin instead of making it almost hidden.....    Gets lots of strong comments for sure!
