Green Egger Naked Neck Thread

Pics
I have saved every chick that I have hatched from my one and only green egg laying Naked Neck hen.

I don't think she is capable of producing a female chick. This last hatch of September 22. I hatched three chicks out if I think it was seven eggs. Two weeks ago I culled one of them because it was a definite make.

Today I went to get the other two, what I thought were pullets, look I think it is two more cockerels.

I don't know if it had anything to do with the hens mother having spurs or not.

I will try one more time to see if I can't get at least one pullet from her. She's going on four years now. I think this coming May.


This dark one looks like hen to me
 
Didn't realize I haven't posted on this one in awhile.

I've got me another green egg layer. This one is Naked Necked but her mama was (GENN). This ones dad was a Polish rooster, so she turned out not NN but crested.
She paired up with a rooster that hatched from a green egg. So come spring look for some crested NN green egg layers.

My first naked neck ameraucana cross, hoping it lays green eggs, it's mother lays extra large green eggs. Naked necks are my favorite and I have wanted green laying naked necks for so long. If anyone in Oregon ever has a naked neck cockerel from a green egg, please PM me and I would love to buy it. For now, she will have to go into my brown egg naked neck flock, maybe I'll get an olive egger from her someday.

I have gotten a second generation green egg layer but they are really rare when breeding back to NN. Seems that the brown egg gene is stronger than the green when breeding backcrossing to NN. Fingers crossed that you get you obe that way though.
 
Here's a picture of the last two out of my Green Egger Naked Neck layer.
They're 17 weeks on the 7th of this month.

The whitish one in the front. The closest color name would be Colombian. Takes back after her daddy's mother ( a Colombian), daddy was the Cinnamon rooster. This one has a pea comb like mama though, hopefully will carry the green egg gene.

This one took back after mama. This one has a single comb, so anxious to see if the green egg gene will carry through.

The hen will be 4 sometime this year so I was glad to finally get a couple of pullets from her.
 
Week it may be a wait too see if I will get anymore green egg layers.

Today I set 12 green eggs in the incubator.
6 from my oldest green egg laying NN hen.
6 from a Crossbred hen Polish and NN cross ( nana) bred to a rooster from a green egg, son of the above hen.

Still have a possibility of a couple more pullets being green egg layers, they're now nearly 18 weeks old ( Thursday, Jan. 26th). So maybe by spring setting I'll have another or two.
