Welcome to byc, sorry to sound mad, but what are naked neck chickens????

Everyone asks me that when I tell them what I have lol. They have no feathers on their necks at all. Mine are naked neck frizzels so they have a tuff of feathers on their head ill try and put a picture on of mine so you can see

Penny(nacked neck) at the back she has a tuff on the front of her neck too. Sandie is the Poland x silkie at the front.

No way they look freaky, I so have to get me some of them lol

Iv only been keeping them since last year too and there's so many different breeds you don't realise when you first look into keeping them. It's a long learning curve but very rewarded Ill always keep them now.

If you google just naked necks they are even more weird. Ugly things but they are adorable I love mine lol. They are a desired taste tho but I find penny is the lady of my flock she's always cleaning and grooming herself and never eats off the floor she demand the corn out of your hand. She's a madam lol
