Newbie question...what breed is a NN? Sorry, still learning all of the acronyms. Lol

There's no need to be sorry about a question that will help you to learn something new.

@Timbers Run A NN (Naked Neck) has less feathering not only on the neck but on it's body too. That is what helps it to deal with our hot desert heat. Many people can't get over the sight of them though. Here's an older picture of my NN rooster named Roger and hen that @CaroleW now has up there with her.

Well, now you know what they are. Not only do they handle our heat here better, but there are less feather's to have to pluck if you are going to eat them.

Silly people don't recognize BEAUTY.
I still do want to get a Hen that looks like Roger,, and a Silkie that looks like below.

So lets not forget the SHOWGIRL SILKIES...

Agree with @igorsMistress - Naked Neck aka Turken -- BEST breed ever!!!

If you remember, I did try the regular silkies, but I decided that I didn't like those feathered feet. They get so dirty all the time because they step in their own poop and it cling's to those feathered feet. Those are a higher maintenance breed then I wanted to deal with.

I always look to solve problems, and offer solutions.

Use only on feet,,, not neck

Spoiler: Simple solution

If anything like Polish you might have to give them a haircut on top too to make sure they don't get ice cicles on head in winter. Definitely high maintenance... haircuts and leg fluff cut!
