Naked Neck-turken

The girls I just got are wonderful. They integrated well, started laying quickly. Haven't had any complaints. One of them is a real character - she "talks" to me. I love how cuddly they are.

I have one black NN! Probably my sweetest bird yet! Very calm and loves treats!

Naked Necks are amazing! I can't wait to get one next year!

I love my Naked Necks. They are friendly and just so cute. It gets hot here in Oklahoma and I don't have to worry as much about these girls.

I love these birdie girls! great layers, great friends to the other chicks, show the youngsters the ropes. And keep everyone in line!

Lays ok, not good in cold

I love the turkens because they are good mothers (broody hens) they dont give too many eggs are too few and they love to be petted and are the best chicken out there for the poultry shows due to their temperment

The three we have are still chicks, probably 8" tall. Very very nice little chickens. Day 1 we could pick them up, handle them, and they'd both perch on our hands and/or eat from our hands when offered. They're fun to watch pal around with each other, but nice little birds so far!

I got 4 NN for free when I bought 3 EE last november. I had wanted some for a while, and was very glad to get them. They are the cutest and funkiest looking birds in my flock. Some are skittish, others are friendly. My only con is that they are almost 7 months old and have not yet layed a single egg.

there is a breed of chicken called a madagascar game . this breeds origins are around the island of madagascar and the west coast of africa. it is the most likely foundation breed for the turken as it is one of if not the earliest forms known to be naked necked and broad in the breast. it is a very heavy bird for it's size.

When I saw these at the feed store I fell in love. I bought 5 straight run and luck have it I ended up with all pullets. Four of mine lay jumbo light brown eggs and one lays a jumbo spotted pale green egg. They are excellent foragers. Mine are a bit flighty but not what I would consider wild. Mine are big birds, but I would love to cross them with a blue Orpington to get an even bigger bodied chicken.

good layers gets along with all the birds, Not pretty at all so ugly they are cute. I enjoy their sweet personality

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder!! Not the best looking bird, but they are hardy, and produce large light brown eggs, they are excellent layers. They have a great disposition, and are entertaining .

These are my daughter's favorite. In MN they were the only hens to lay all winter. We had one that liked to have the few feathers on her neck plucked out by one of the other hens. She would stretch her neck out in front of the other hens until one would give in. (chicken version of a bikini wax?)

These are the coolest chickens ever! I have heard nothing but good things about them! I can't wait or order one in my mixed flock this April!

My Naked Necks have proved FAST growing, hardy chickens. They are BIG. I've had a number of different breeds over the years and these are the meatiest of the dual purposes I've had.
They are relatively calm and easy to handle. I enjoy their odd look. I will never be without them. They are one of my favorite breeds.

I love My Turkens

I have naked necks for a while now, I have White,Red and black, and they are the standard colors ( and buff too but I don't have it )

I also enjoy playing around with other colors like Blue,Splash and my newest one BLRNN.

I always recommend the NN's to people that are looking for good egg layers, cold hardy and very good with the heat too, if you can get over the looks you got a really good chicken.

I got Naked Neck eggs in the spring of 2010 just for fun, but I've really come to love my birds. I feel their production is high among my layers. They have been healthy through all types of weather conditions. My flock is blue, black, splash in color, which I prefer. Occasionally I'll see some red in wing feathers, though. I'll probably always keep some Naked Necks, especially since they are so fun to look at and get conversations started.
