Thank you. I'm sorry about the typos - I just read my post back again.
That was a great link with it all laid out very nicely, thank you cmom!
BlueBaby, what do you like about the naked necks? I've heard good things but I get put off by the ones with the red necks. I think in person I might find them adorable, though.

For one, I live out here in the desert, and these can handle the heat better. They are also able to handle colder places, although if you live in a cold climate, I would mix (cross-breed) them with other shorter combed breed's. I have mixed mine with other breed's to be able to have a more colorful feathered flock, along with getting the hen's to lay bigger sized egg's or even different colored egg's. They are a good meat bird if you need or want to be able to eat the extra boy's that hatch. I try to breed mine so that the boy's are more non-aggressive to people. I'm addicted to hatching chick's.

Here is a link that can fill you in on more about them.
