Naked Neck/Turken Thread

[Kassaundra]

Kassaundra not all of southern california is warm during the winter. Only the costal area around San Diego. Any place inland with an elevation above 1000 feet gets cold. Wind is also a problem causing the cold dry air to feel much worse. Plus a lot of California has mountains. Even Los Angeles gets "chilly" and many of the chicken folks on here do not live in either LA or SD.

That's interesting, I've been through diff parts of CA a couple of times in my life (when I was way younger) but don't know much about it's weather, just imagined it was warm and all b/c of the citrus fruit growing and stuff we can't grow here. Also just think of desert more then mountains for So. CA.

KKH, there is always making him a little chicken sweater! lol

Yes citrus and grape vines. But smudge pots are kept handy during winter. It is the almost contunuous sunshine that makes for 12 months of gardening. I am not sure of the exact amount of area is used for farming but it must be less than 1/3.

I got a new peep from under a broody just a couple hours ago and had to share a picture or two.
It looks to be splash and mottled and has a tiny bow tie. The dad is blue mottled(small bow tie) and mom is mahogany and blue(big bow tie).





Chipper, the momma.

6 out of 6 hatched. 3 were from my welsummer/orpington hen, 2 black and 1 blue all feather necked. Then 1 splash NN chick with a big bow tie from my splash hen and 2 small bow tie NN from Chipper, one is blue and the other is the one in the pics.

Congratulations oldorchardfarms! Makes me wonder how many people are breeding for the SOP...probably not many. They're so much fun to mix with other breeds. Way to represent Fred!!!

Georgia Boy, here's one of the black skinned chicks. Actually the NN chicks are more charcoal skinned than black.
