Just for my own purposes (because I love the NN look) I am working on breeding chickens with the NN gene that reliable lay white, blue/green, and brown eggs. So obviously the brown is already their typical egg color but...
To get white and green/blue egg laying chickens that also carry the naked neck gene, how many times would I have to cross pairs between Easter Eggers and chickens with a dominant NN gene?
To get a white egg strain - same question with NN gene chickens and white egg layers.
I'm already working with second/third generation crosses of chickens displaying the NN gene (not "purebreds" from a hatchery, but chickens who have a parent or grandparent that wasn't a "Naked Neck"
