Best place to get a Naked Neck ("Turken")?

Bonus points if they actually have some available right now!

Very happy with the ones I got from Ideal Poultry. Great layers, good size, and very good temperament. They are waitlisted right now until 2017 - but be careful, sometimes if you get on their waitlist, they may be available even sooner than you expect. (That happened to me.)

I just read your other posts - bummer about your first experiences. My chicks were healthy (one was a weakling and didn't make it, but I think it just hatched that way). If you are in Texas (seemed like you are), you can actually drive to Ideal to pick up the chicks depending on your location). That's what I did - saved the shipping stress. (You can also get fewer chicks if you want, compared to their shipping minimums.)

Thank you! I'll add myself to their waitlist, but it probably won't be worth it to me to make a road trip down there. As you know, just because we live in the same state doesn't mean we can easily visit each other, if that state is Texas! Their farm is a 5-hour drive for me and I've got 4.5 kids!

Oh, I TOTALLY understand. You can just have them shipped - I just didn't know how close you might be to Cameron. It was 3 hours one way for me - I decided to make the drive, but it was tight and I almost didn't make it before they closed! (I took a half day off of work - next time if I drive, I'll just have to take the whole day).

But yes, they are very good Naked Necks, in my experience (and that of others).
