Wanting some Naked Neck's real bad! Who can help me learn about them before I just jump out there and get chicks? Experienced Naked Neck owners will be ideal but all experience is welcome! Thanks for sharing!yippiechickie

Well, I wouldn't say I am really experienced but what I can say is that I love my NNs smile  I purchased 4 from the local feed store 13 weeks ago as a 'gag' gift for my daughter for Mother's Day...went back less than a week later for 3 more cause no way was she getting those original babies!!!!  My sons and I fell in love!!  They are the sweetest, most easy going chickens smile  So, when I found out that my four were all girls, I set out to look for a man for them.  Flew, yes flew, up to NY where I picked up Charlie smile  I love my NNs and would have more if I could.  Hopefully, next Spring, I will have a bunch of little NN babies running around smile

Here is my 16 year old with his favorite....
