Hi, Lisa, these are Frankie's offspring....crossed with Blue Partridge Brahma (!)

Mort has been very active with a Gold Brahma....his favourite consort.....I think I'll pop some of his in the 'bator, too.

Love that big guy ca, how tall is he?

And the guys found this Brahma chick VERY scary

This article explains that the naked neck is caused by a derivative of vitamin A secreted in the neck: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-edinburgh-east-fife-12745163

Want to be a chick sexer? Watch this video. It's on youtube. You will have to do a
search for Dirty Jobs, Mike Rowe, or chick sexer. I'm new to BYC and can't link URL's YET!

I own one Naked Neck now... She's a sweetie.

My son likes her best. He's 4 and crazy about the chickens. He has decided to name her "Turkey".

Good thing he didn't name her Churkey!

Hi Jelly713 and Proudmama88! Show off your Naked Necks when you get a chance!
Cute chick, Pgpoultry!

I had an idea! I'll mate one of these silkie feathered green-egger girls:

to this big guy (who also has the blue egg gene):

and get a start toward some ginormous silkie feathered Naked Necks, hahahaha.
