Howdy!!!! For those of you who make fun of Naked Necks, here's a published paper of a study that was shared on another thread. It shows that chickens carrying the Naked Neck gene have better meat development (including breast meat) and also have stronger immune system/immune response (it was done in the summer time, hot climate). (This goes a long with a lot of observations from folks about how hardy NNs are and how they seem to never get sick). The finding is specifically associated with the presence of the Na gene. (Interestingly, they also refer to the presence of the frizzle gene as another advantage in the heat.) I want to read it again (less quickly), but here it is:

Just because they are better at some things than other birds doesn't make them any better looking

It is known that the meat production is better because less feather =les protein invested in them= more feed protein invested in meat.
The Frizzell feather is less compacted so less air is trapped in between them= less ability to stay warm= a big advantage in hit climate
