Hello there -

I was in Utah a few months ago (it only occurred to me to post this now, sorry) at the This is The Place heritage park. Of course I eagerly spent my rime hanging out with the goats, sheep, pigs and chickens. I came across one chicken, however, that baffled me. I've never seen a thing like it.

I didn't have my camera with me (again, sorry) so I don't have a picture but I can describe it pretty well. It was pretty large, larger than any hens that I have. I assume it was a hen due to the lack of long tail feathers and lack of spurs. It had several bald patches on its head. The most interesting part was its throat - it had a very prominent dewlap, like that of a turkey or monitor lizard.

Anyone know what exactly this particular chicken is? I'm stumped. My 'rents might've taken a few pictures, so in the meantime i'll try and dig those up

Not ringing any bells for me. Sure it wasn't a buzzard/vulture?

What color was it? It may just be an individual trait, but it certainly sounds interesting
Jersey Giants are pretty large

You sure it wasn't a turkey?

it was all-white. Might have had some black fringes around the edge of thr wings, but mostly white

Could it have been a game breed like a Malay?

You sure it wasn't just a Naked Neck Chicken?

Most likely a naked-neck, although it's entire neck wasn't bald - just that dewlap. But for a lack of better ideas then I suppose it is a naked-neck

By dewlap do you mean the crop perhaps? Could have been a heterozygous NN

Yup, that sounds about right.

Also, thank you for informing me of "heterozygous'', i've never heard of that word until now
