Wont they roost high in a tree? My leghorn roo(popcorn) always roosted high in the pear tree & pooped on the pavers.

Mine would only go to the trees when something was after them . the highest they wanted to go was top of the coop.

When I went out last night to plug up the hole the rats were getting through, I forgot to close the pop door.

No one was harmed in this episode of stupidity. The rats were probably having a good laugh, with the door wide open for them. They probably invited all their friends and had a party.

Mine roost on a gazebo frame right outside my kitchen window. They holler if you go for a late-night snack.

How was turkins bred ? They just grab the most ugly chicken they could find and breed them to their brothers ?

The Turken is an interesting looking beast. Either you love it or you hate it, it seems. I know both staunch defenders of the breed and people who don't even like to see them.
They got the name Turken from their appearance, which suggests that perhaps a chicken was crossed with a turkey to get this bird. This is not the case. In fact, I don't recall ever coming across a documented reference to a chicken/turkey hybrid--a bird which would definitely be sterile, and not the progenitor of a new breed.
The breed probably originated in Hungary, but the Germans perfected the type. One reason for their development is that with less feathers, they are much easier to pluck than the average table fowl. A Naked Neck has less than half the number of feathers possessed by other breeds of their size. They are good layers of brown eggs, quite hardy in cold weather, and due to their light feathering also take heat better than most breeds. They are quite popular in South Africa, where they are known under the name "Kaalnek."
The naked neck gene is dominant, so any first generation crosses with this fowl will show the naked neck, although often with a larger patch of feathers on the neck.
In France there are two varieties of Naked Necks. The Cou Nu has a completely naked neck, while the Cou Nu du Forez has a clump of feathers low down on the neck. They are only recognized there in White and are raised as a meat fowl.


See ! They were bred to be easier to pluck !
