Naked Neck or Buff Brahma

[Sadness Child]

I cannot decide between a Buff Brahma or Naked Neck Rooster

I think Naked Necks are hideous but my mom told me that my late Granny had a naked neck hen so now I want one but maybe in a few years.

What are your goals for a male bird?
Do you have both now and need to remove one?

Hello! I think Naked Necks would be good. Although they look kind of funny at first, they grow on you.

I’m not sure what your looking for in a rooster, but personally I prefer my Bielefelder rooster. He’s friendly, protects his ladies from predators, and we’ve had great success with hatching eggs since we got him. Almost all of them were fertile!! Good luck @sadness child on your quest to find the perfect rooster!

I will have a mix of bantams and standards, a bantam rooster and the naked neck or brahma, I have not gotten them yet, but there are hawks that have gone after my chickens before and 6 of the got killed by coyotes at once

 

[Sadness Child]

it also has to not be very dominant and accept humans in their space

Do not count on roosters for protection from predators...especially coyotes.

I own a buff brahma mix with a golden comet rooster
He is white not buff like his mother

My light bramha roo is a beast with birds of prey, but hes not crazy friendly. I'm a 300 pound guy and have to set him straight some.

My friend has a bramha that is super nice. Where are you from? If it's a cold region I would rule out naked neck I think. Bramhas are cold hearty and can be docile but good roosters. IF they are too mean, they dress out nicely
