Naked Neck/Turken Thread

Hello, I have a question for naked neck chicken owners. I am getting one naked neck soon, and I'm wondering when the roosters mate with a naked neck hen will they hurt her neck? Because I know roosters pull on the neck feathers when they do so.
 
HI there! Congratulation on your Naked Neck! I've been raising them for about a year and a half. occasionally I've had a rooster get too " carried away" and hurt the neck on the hen.but in most of my cases it healed with no problems, If you do get one that wont heal or other chickens pick on the wound. you can get Blue Cote (sp) and that is supposed to help. I've not used it (yet) but have heard a lot of good things about it. I do put some wound ointment on them if they are really bad. I'm a Young Living Essential Oil Enthusiast and so i put the Animal Scents Ointment on it, if it needs anything. heals like a charm! Good Luck with your chickens!:)

Congrats!  What are they?

Finally, finally got to do an egg set last Sunday.  It's been way too long I've seen babies...

Hopefully some chicks will be scaleless....


Beside the NN, I have some Leghorn, Leghorn Crosses ( Cai Whites) and some Sexlink crosses under a Welsummer rooster. Also have a few just barnyard mixes. I was just looking for some eggs as I don't like hatching just a few.
