She is a genetic scaleless chicken.

 

[Chicken Egg 17]

Is it an actual breed or just a mistaken mishap somehow gotten a little more nakedness than she was supposed to

 

[Chicken Egg 17]

Pretty little thing though

 

[Chicken Egg 17]

O wouldn't they be more prone to getting fowl pox then since they have more bare skin

Not an actual breed, it is a genetic occurance like blue eyes. She has both copies of a recessive scaleless gene. I have not had any birds to get fowl pox.

Her breed happens to be a naked neck, but the genetic occurance can happen in any breed of chicken.
