Naked Neck/Turken Thread

[hellbender]

home this weekend!! Got some new pix of the chicks. Mom changed the one's name from Tiger to Tigger.

pix:
Tigger is in the back. Gotta look past my cocky, camera ham named Solomon. (He's an OEGB.)

There's Tigger!!

Tigger again!!

All nice birds.

Delaware Patterned chickens and maybe some solid barred too. Could be other colors depending on the hens coloring. I had some red barred ones at one time. I used a barred rooster though.

I think I will try me a few and see how they turn out. I hope to see at least 1 necked neck in there. It would be awesome. Size wise the Turken and the Delawares are about the same.

Well it looks like I'm not getting my naked necks, black australorps, and black ameraucana chicks this week as planned cause the ameraucanas are holding the order off due to not laying well from the breeder (not the breeders fault).. -.- Hopefully in 2 weeks I finally get the chicks. I hate the wait! Getting chicks makes you feel like a little kid opening a Christmas present.

They will be sweeter for the waiting.

The good news is after waiting for my chicks, that I finally got my class A cdl and had a job interview today at a local school bus company, passed my background test and meeting tomorrow again . Looks like may stay local then going OTR even though I want to visit all lower 48 someday in life. But me driving a bus during the mornings and days I can work at pizza restaurant at evening/nights so it works out great and not leave the chickens behind. But after 1 year of experience in school bus company say goodbye I'm going OTR.

Edit - I worn a suit and tie for my school bus interview and wearing Abercrombie & Fitch Fierce cologne. Follow my steps to get a job.

Since there are so many pages on this thread, I hope you will forgive me if this has been asked before.
Is the NN trait dominant? That is to say if the chicken is NN, either with a bowtie or not, the trait is visible. Can it be a recessive, hidden trait?
Can a chicken of NN breeding with no visible trait carry the gene?

From the reading I've done, if it don't show it then it doesn't carry the gene.
