turken

I am not sure if this is the right category for this question, because it may be considered a more behavioral thing, but... Anyways I have a turken, aka naked neck chicken, I got her at the end of March, or early april, either way she is only a few months old and not laid her first egg yet. I...

I live in southern Arizona and while we have good weather 75% of the time, the dog days of summer can be brutal. I would like to take Turken stock and cross them with other heat tolerant, dual purpose (leaning toward egg production) breeds that have minimum heat related issues. Other than the...

My Fifi has never shown any interest in using a nesting box before. She'll just lay eggs wherever she feels like it. Today, for the first time, she used a box. She's laid an egg and is refusing to leave the box. Could she be broody? She's 7 months.

I just purchased my first two Turkens two days ago, (a black and a white, straight run), and yesterday I noticed the black one has what looks like a raised scab-like injury(?) on the back of his bare head/neck. And today, it is darker and looks more like a wound than it did. The naked necks are...

I'm a proud chicken mama, lol. My al6 month old turken,Fifi (she's the turken in my profile picture) laid her first egg this week. Actually 2 eggs from her thus week, so she's putting her Australorp sisters to shame. They are all the same age and I think we've maybe gotten 1 egg from between...

I have a turken chick that's about two days old and she can't open her wings because her skin had grown over the feathers and sealed them in place, and continues to do so at they grow longer. While all the other chicks have tiny feathers she only has one or two per wing because all the others...

I finally managed to get better pics of my mystery turken today. Comparing this one to the one we know is a cockerel, I’m leaning more towards pullet now. While both have crowns that are much bigger than our other turkens, this one is slightly smaller and less red. Still, we are new at this and...

We are still figuring out the genders of the turkens we bought back in September. With help from folks here yesterday we pretty much confirmed one white and black chick is indeed a cockerel, and three of the others are girls. We do have one other mystery chick that we are on the fence about. The...

picked up 6 turken hatchlings back in September - not sure of the sex of them but one looks ...not like the others. Almost 3 months old now. No crowing yet,but ...I’ve uploaded a few closeups of her/him-and of the other turkens we got at the same time. Any help would be appreciated.

Our turken (Bernie) is approximately 20 weeks old, but as new chicken owners, we just can't tell with this little one! We were told "she" would get tall, but "she's" almost as big as our rooster. "She" should be laying eggs soon, but we're impatient. Those tail feathers completely throw me off...

Hi everyone, I have 3 hens and one rooster for adoption. I have a partridge rock hen (listed on a previous post) and three black turken growouts. The partridge rock is a beauty, and she’s from Meyer Hatchery (is mareks vaccinated). She’s about 8 months old, and lays consistently. The three...

Hello! I don't see too many naked necks or turkens around the area and was wondering if anyone would be interested in some gorgeous roosters. I have several and would love to see them find a home with some ladies to watch over. About them: I have 2-3 red/brown naked neck roosters. Rather large...

Hi everyone! I have four pullets that are looking for new homes! I have three 1 month old black Turkens (sexed pullets from TSC) and a 5 month old partridge rock pullet from Meyer Hatchery. They’re all very healthy. The rock doesn’t get along with my new rescues, and she’s picking on them pretty...

Hey everyone, I got some Turkens today. Any clue what this little guy’s coloration might be?

Hi everyone! I wanted to get some Turken chicks really bad, but the order size at Tractor Supply is 25. I don’t want that many birds, so I was wondering if anyone on here would want to buy some of the extra chicks (sexed pullets). It would be a really low cost, and I’d have about 20 for anyone...

Hello, I just wanted start a thread to talk about Polish chickens and other weird breeds. I could not find another thread about weird chicken breeds, so I thought that I would start one myself.

I need help identifying these chickens! They were both hatched in Mid/Late May and at this point they are about two months old. I love these little weirdos but I'm not allowed to keep roosters in my area, only hens. So I'm really hoping that I managed to snag three hens (my other chicken -...

Beautiful 7 week old boy! Friendly, mild mannered. Feather coloring hardly shows up in these photos, but he's got emerald green and sapphire shimmer! Born/hatched May 2. $20 adoption fee. Located Chicago, can transport within a reasonable distance for additional fee. Prefer NOT to ship this...

I know this is a long shot (& I also check Craigslist) but I thought I would post this here as well. I'm not in a hurry to find this guy but am always hoping.... I am looking for a large fowl, white turken rooster: NN preferred, fully naked necked with no or extremely minimal bow tie. I am...
