My favorite too, had many different breeds over many years, turkens are the breed I've had for the longest time. Many other breeds came and went.. except for them, always had turkens ever since I got the first chick from Murray McMurray. Recently scaled down flock of 200+ chickens to 50 tops.. nearly all naked necked now- the only exceptions are a group of blue laced red wyandottes and a couple non- naked necks I had to keep for genetic reasons to do with some naked neck projects such as lavender bantams, laced in standard, and just for bigger birds and bigger eggs in a large fowl group.
I forget they look different at all until a visitor comments on them...
