This is my Little Naked Neck cockerel, Chewy, and I was wondering (like the name says) if Naked Neck is a breed or variation (i.e buff, Barred, etc.)? And if Naked Neck IS a variation, what breed is he???

ThanksThey are both a breed and a variety.
Yes I've read about these facts, it's just when I was looking at some place you could buy chicks and learn about them, I saw they sold like Orpington naked necks, etc.The Naked Neck is a gene. The original one's were the Transylvanian Naked Necks. Here in the states, people are breeding them into every other breed, so it's going to get harder to find any originals here soon. The Naked necks are supposed to be more immune to diseases, more heat tolerant, and the less feathering mean's less plucking when it's time to butcher. I have been told that on average, the hen's will lay 4 eggs a week. I will be getting some of them myself in a couple more weeks.
