Naked Neck/Turken Thread

[Sierra987]

Microbiology/infection of bird bites came up on a work listserv of mine today, and someone posted the entire list of bird attack options. Completely hysterical...

Well now I know just how dangerous my chickens can be! I won't even go look at codes involving my horses or donkey!!

Ok... I've worked on/around aircraft(USAF), and I was completely unaware that there was an option for a subsequent encounter with jet engine suction.

Well, I think that's subsequent encounter with the health care provider... But it's still funny...

I played with graphing out the weights for my Naked Necks over the past 3 weeks, and I found a way to represent them that seemed to convey a lot at once. X axis includes individual birds, and Y axis is weight in ounces. (Excel and I were having a disagreement about display of the numbers on the axis, so it doesn't show numbers on the axis. Oh well.)




Very interesting (I'm going to try different representations as well). The great big fast one in the middle is Tank, and the fast growers in general are the obvious boys. Kev, I think you cursed me - only a day later and their combs are getting more obvious, and I am now only confident in having 5 females among the NN. There's also one black one that looks like it's going to have a non-standard comb of some sort, like rose/pea or something. The shame is that the boys all look so great so far - only so many I can keep, so I'll keep watching.

I think for us we always assumed that there was no option for survival at all. If we did survive the initial suction we just assumed our commander would appear and kill us with his bare hands for Fodding out one of his precious engines! LOL

They are so beautiful! I don't belive that that pattern is possible on boys, never seen anything like that.

LOL! You're as bad as I am! I've got graphs on individual breeds, individual birds, comparisons between breeds, etc, etc. As much as I like my charts, it's the visual impact of the graph that proves most helpful.

I'm so excited!!!! The mostly NN eggs I put under my broody hen started hatching last night, and the first to emerge is a lovely buff colored NN chick. Momma Lily got off the nest very briefly last night when it was roughly 100 degrees out so she could gulp down quick meal, so I was able to snap a somewhat blurry photo of the hatching chick.




And just because I finally got a photo of my (most of) my NN flock, here's a picture of them too:
