Oh heck, you don't have to go through all that. I'll go hunting on my own. It'll give me something to do in all that "spare time" we're supposed to have!:D
If you can remember which hatchery, I'd sure appreciate it (I'm on the east coast of the US.) But I don't just want any ol' naked neck banty. I want a birdie with that awesome red wattling all down it. That's SO cool!
I know ... pipe dreams ... but if I can't dream about getting the perfect...
DAG! I WANT ONE! That's absolutely the neatest naked neck I've ever seen. If I could have one just like him, but bantam sized (all my biddies are little,) I'd be happier than a chicken in a mealworm bucket!
@Compost King - My apologies for "borrowing" your picture, but I couldn't isolate just this one in a quote, properly ... but ... What's the breeding on this fellow, please? That long, red neck is AMAZING!
Advice learned the hard way:
Don't do the bug zapper. They're very effective for killing mosquitos ... and every mosquito within 1000 yards - including those with no intention of landing in your yard in the first place - will be drawn to it ... right through you and your chickens. The best way...
Moving air is the best mosquito-deterrent in the world. If your birds can stand a bit of draft, try putting in a fan. The only thing I've found more effective than a fan is a good, killing frost!
