Just wanted to say hello from Georgia

[Christinamomof3]

So excited to find this and be able to ask questions. I have wanted chickens for years so I started 2 years ago with bantams and this year I went a little crazy and bought lots of different chicks and just became over run with our turkey babies but I love it. My fave so far is my naked necks even though my kids and family think they are just so ugly lol.

I have to say, naked necks are not my cup of tea, but beauty is in the eye of the beholder

You didn't go crazy, you just got a chicken addiction and a fast course in chicken math. We are a bunch of enablers and will never say you have too many chickens.

In fact since you like turkens, I think you would love "Showgirls," do check out that thread. Showgirls are a variety of Silkie, a much fancier kind of turken.
They have the naked necks or bow ties, but, the feathers of a silkie and can be any of the silkie colors. Also tend to be very good broody mamas just like a regular silkies.
