I originally hatched it out in an incubator and then slipped him/her under a broody silkie who is now her mom.
Dad is definitely a Lavender Ameracauna
I have a lot of breeds of hens but majority of Lavender's babies are black.
So why is this little guy/gal WHITE?!

Hello my name is Ashley, currently living in Tennessee and I am now obsessed with chickens ahah.
(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? Yes, started in May of this year!
(2) How many chickens do you have right now? 16 but have 8 more coming in December (the number...
I have an naked neck turken rooster. He is around 2 years old. The other day I was cleaning their coop and noticed that he had a large yellow crusty looking mass on his comb. Im not real sure when it first started forming because he has a somewhat large comb that flops over to one side and it...
So I have a new flock of 9 that are almost 6 weeks old. 2 of them are Naked Necks, which I've come to find out may be the most loving chicken in the world. The black one here taking the#1 spot. I was getting excited thinking of all the places we'd go together until last week when suddenly this...
Are Naked Necks (Turkens) from Hoover Hatchery pure? Or do they mix them with other breeds and, given that the naked neck genes are dominant, just call the Naked Necks?
Okay so about a month ago, my beloved Rudy the Turken rooster succumbed to his injuries after fighting off some sort of predator. I'm not sure exactly what happened, but he and one hen were missing at bedtime, couldn't find any sign of either of them anywhere, and Rudy literally hobbled in...
This is John and Yolko. I learned of naked necks and had to have some, so my own sweet partner made a three hour round trip drive to surprise me with these two from a local breeder. We bought them straight run, but John showed himself early. They were hatched march 10 so they are only 8 weeks...

3 weeks old today, I got this chick locally with another yellow but now white chick, I asked if they were crossed with anything and the breeder said “no they are 100% Transylvania turkens”… but my little black chick has ended up barred and he also had 50 barred rocks for sale so I’m thinking mom...
A few weeks ago, the kind woman I bought my incubator from offered me 12 free eggs to start my hatching journey. Peering into the basket, I saw many shades of green and dark brown eggs. One by one I sorted through which eggs I wanted until my hand paused on the largest green egg that I have ever...
Looking for full sized NN Turken eggs to ship to Maryland. A diversity of plumage color is great but black or blue would get me off to a good start. If you're interested in a swap I have lots of heritage/rare chickens, ducks, turkey's, and geese. Thanks!
has anyone ever made a frizzle, naked neck, cochin, polish mix?
'cause I think that would look (mom says like kentucky derby fried chicken) very... um... interesting...
I don't want to hurt any chicken's feelings, but that mix would look like a fluffy footed turken that had been electrocuted...
So my mother got some Turken chicks, and I loved them as they have great personalities and make good decisions, now they have gotten to an age where they’ve decided to establish a pecking order and getting into small skirmishes, nothing had been very serious but I had one come up to me with its...
Hello,
I have a few young birds that I would like to know your thoughts on for gender. These chickens are about 7 weeks old. The Turken has two photos. Thanks for your input.
Hi! I’m pretty sure this is a roo because of the comb size and colors compared to my other girls but I wanted to ask for a second opinion. Any thoughts? This is my first batch of turkens. Also long shot but any ideas with the silkie? *the cage is temporary, currently deep cleaning the brooder*
Somehow, and I’m dumbfounded by this, the Turken x Ameraucana mix which hatched has neck feathers?! I may be mistaken, but for the longest time I’ve known for a fact that the Turken gene in chickens is always dominant, no matter what the cross is? Am I right? I thought that they only needed one...
