Cross Naked Neck?

[BlueBaby]

Thanks for the reply! Just wondering what breed she could half be...

Your's look to be mixed with probably either a Black Australorp or Jersey Giant. That would be my guess, anyway's. @The Moonshiner is right though, the Naked Neck is a breed, but it is also a gene. I'm believing that here in the states, they are all most likely mixed with something else.

Yeah, I was thinking some5ing along the lines of that.
I would think Jersey giant because, she is the biggest hen in my flock!

Hey guys, about two weeks ago,I asked if my yellow naked neck was a crossbreed of some other breed. Well, I was looking at my flock today and saw that my other NN had fur covering her crop. So, she may be a Naked Neck. Tell me what you guys think.
Thanks in advance!

This is a naked neck. If a chicken has 2 genes for naked neck, it will have little or no feathers on the neck. If it has one gene for nn, it will have a bow tie. You can mix any breed with a nn. As long as a chicken has as naked neck, it is a naked neck. There is a huge amount of information on BYC Forums about naked necks. Fascinating chickens.

Thanks for the information. I have two naked necks. They both have bow ties. But, one has no fur on her crop and, the other does. So, I think she’s a cross. Maybe crossed with Jersey giant.
