Anyone else working on a naked neck turken cochin bantam project?
I ended up with a calico rooster from jacobs cave... no clue who i got him from ... but now i think i want to work on that .... any turken bantams ive been able to find are usually out of gamey stuff or silkies ... =( or japs..
Found a hen yesterday though who is closer in type but clean legged... so maybe i can work with her...
I've seen them occasionally, or something similar- feather footed, fluffy birds with naked necks. Haven't seen any for couple years.. seems to have been taken over by sizzles and NN sizzles.
never seen NN mixed with japs though?!
if calico is mille fleur, either a black tail buff or red NN would be the best for crossing him with. If he is of show type, you will get good/very good types by back crossing the best NN bird from each generation to a pure cochin.
