Oh, the eggs that I wanted got to you okay.

I really wanted those eggs

Today at the school the kids were talking about turkens, I almost cried.

J/K I hope they all hatch for you. Post pictures, I'll live vicariously through them!

Ohhh, ok. Now youre making me feel bad!
I just hope to have a good hatch!! My hatching ability is lacking and Im not sure why...:sigh:
Mamawolf said that 2 buyers of her turken eggs had 100% hatch!!

Im hoping for that!!!

Crap....6 out of the 7 would be good too! Thats not asking for much. Come on hatching gods, angels, fairies...whatever!

How much would combined shipping be?

I was really surprised at the size of the turken eggs. And they are various shades of brown. Very pretty.

Can I ask, what is a bowtie on a NN?

And mamwolf....does the roo not have any fluff on his head? Thats strange looking.

NN are the ugliest chickens Ive ever seen!

But after I won the eggs, I got 2 chicks at the feedstore. They sure are calm and sweet. And goodness knows, their less feathers will do well here as flippin' hot as it gets!

 

[chickenlittle32]

Kinda hard to see...but the feathers in the front of the neck is what is called a bowtie....

 

[schmmems]

a bowtie is a patch of feathers on the curve of the neck, where our adam's apple would be. These are desirable for Showgirls (silkie x turken).

Oh ok. My little feedstore NN's have that.

If breeding a silkie and turken, do the chicks always have silkie feathers, or do you have to cull and breed for silkie feathers?

And is the naked neck trait always dominant?
