Compost King
Free Ranging
I just looked at another Naked Neck Cross from the same hatch, different mother but same father. The other Naked Neck is starting to grow in his Single Comb and is likely a male. Huge difference in comb size between the 2. I am guessing the NN/RR is a pullet too. I can't get a decent photo of the other Naked Neck as he is in a giant brooder with about 40 to 50 other chicks. This brooder is so large that I need a fishing net to retrieve chicks from it unless I have a person at all 4 doors.
I wanted the NN/RR to be a pullet so I could breed the 2 of them at the same time to the same rooster and keep a buddy system going. The NN/RR is getting the Cornish X to free range instead of sitting at a feeder. Next time I keep a Cornish X Pullet for breeding I am going to do a buddy system where she has 1 buddy she clings to that pulls her away from the feed.
