Naked Neck/Turken Thread

[kristin07035]

I'm in Pennsylvania and my little frizzle naked necks would make great pets but aren't old enough to tell which are girls

OOOOH frizzles!
How old are they? How long until you think you can tell?

My NN story started about a year ago when I received a pair of NN's. I got a black rooster and a gray hen (I had to sell the roo 'cause he was very mean and we only ever got male NN's from him and never a female oh, yes and all the chicks were black...)So we were left with the gray hen. We would once in a while get a NN chick from her but they were all also roo's (huge problem) so then yesterday when i went and checked up on her i noticed that she actually had a hen NN chicks! I went crazy and i was running around and jumping up and down but anyway, I have done everything in my place to keep that little chicken alive!
So yes and it isn't black it is a beautiful brown color so i hope it lives and has a happy ever after...

Actually your hen determines the sex of the chicks not the rooster. I like blach, white, light reddish, and the buff columbians. Right now I have a salmon rooster and two partridge hens with kne being mottled also, a red and kne is what I call salmon buff.

I have a genetics quandary I am mulling over. My head roo is shakespear he is NaNa w/ a very bare neck just 2ish feathers. He does not show fm, not sure if he carries or shows under feathers (so not showing much but still has it) I think is some form of barred / birchen and do not believe he carries sc. He however is a good natured, good protector roo.

I have an up and comer, looks like he will be bigger then shakespear, carries and shows good fm (for a male) carries sc, is some form of odd but very pretty markings, but is only Nana, w/ a large bow tie/ bib. His temperament is unknown at this time since he isn't mature.

I have several NaNa females w/ just a couple of neck feathers so if I replace shakespear I won't lose that genetics.

Do you have to decide immediately? A good bird of known quality and temperament would stay with me, if it was my choice that had to be made NOW!

I do not have to decide immediately they are all peaceful at the moment.

The rooster,like all males determines the sex of babies. Doesn't matter what kinda animal it is
