HI Everyone! I'm so happy I found this page. All your birds are gorgeous! I, too, love Naked Necks. I have six hens that lay green, olive, and dark brown eggs. It seems like the popularity of these smart birds is increasing.

If anyone is interested in purchasing hatching eggs, I just listed some on the 24 hour auction page. I'm in Washington State and am happy to ship!

Hello and welcome! May ask what breed the rooster in the above photo is? I have a rooster that looks remarkably similar to him. Mine was supposed to be a pure Ameraucana, but doesn't have the puffy cheeks, and though he came from a blue egg, I've never managed to figure out what he is.

They are like twins almost! My rooster was a hatchery EE, from either Meyer or Cackle. I don't remember which. He was a super nice rooster, but he didn't fit in my breeding program so I rehomed him. He is the father of this pullet. She is stunning and I can't wait for her to lay her first egg.


My rooster had the blue/dilute gene so some of his chicks were blue like the pullet pictured. And this one (her mom is an australorp).

Beautiful roo and hens/pullets.

what color was the mother of the NN pullet?

Have you bred the roo to a blue/splash?

I'm intrigued by the coloring, at a glance he looks like a normal blue but blue isn't supposed to dilute the red/gold pigments that much like on the NN pullet.

@Kev

I have had a lot of EE rooster with the blue look like the above rooster.

Personally I don't think it's blue. Either Lavender, which I really don't think do either, maybe Khaki or Mauve. I've never seen the actual color in person so don't really know what it should look like.

Furthermore I don't know if either Khaki or Mauve will dilute red.

Just done thoughts. The chicks that I'm getting on the NN's from the EE lines are still producing a lot of odd colors.

@ about 1week old.

Not really sure guessing @ about 8 to 10 weeks.

Around 16 or 17 weeks.

I really need to get an update picture.

Dad was a Blue Red Naked Neck.
Mom was a Wheaten Duckwing Naked Neck ( also known as Silver Wheaten).

So @Kev would she be considered a Partridge ( maybe Red Partridge) also. Her under color is a blueish color with a deep red over that. There are faint patterns in her also.

She definitely is partridge, that chick pic is a classic variation of partridge chick down.

She is a little light for a partridge so she has something else affecting the color/pattern but I don't know what it is.

This is a straight partridge hen, no other genes affecting her color or pattern. Naturally pretty dark.
