Naked Neck/Turken Thread

I don't know. They also say this is a Partridge color:


***Not my chicken.... picked off the internet.

Even if this is considered partridge (I have always thought that was "wild type") still to my eye it is very different from the pic of your bird. This pattern still has a much more "structured" pattern, your bird's patterning seems "chaotic" by comparison to me. Your birds bib looks to me not to have any patterning at all, the wild type and the partridge both have patterning in the neck feathers, that I think would show up at least on the edges of the bib????

If I were forced to name it I would think it is white w/ black leakage???? But Kev or someone w/ a better grasp of chicken genetics will have a better answer, I'm sure.

Even the Laced type birds are wild type.

Partridges that I have seen are the dark brownish/black and reddish look at hatch..

This pullet was a wild type at hatch. She was out of the mottled Partridges that I have. That us why I had assumed that she was a Silver Partridge. Maybe be sone kind of Wheaten type though. The pattern on her looks like black oats to me.

Still waiting for @Kev to weigh in.

But getting back to your theory, I've decided myself it isn't a Partridge. Just trying to figure it out. I personally think it very pretty.

draye! That's terrible! Maybe I can get a couple of these blacks to you..very very black chicks. They are doing well. I've never shipped them. Maybe someone can tell me how. Or, maybe you want to wait and see what happens with your eggs you are setting..cheaper now to ship though, as they are young and weigh less.

Just letting everyone know, none of those eggs were broken. None. I think he packed well..don't change it draye. Considering how that box looked on one side, I really believe that's the main reason for them not hatching. Loose air cells, and some that didn't start..8 didn't start, two floating air cells. 15 were very much developed, but quit for some reason during week two.


Ok, here is my Gladys. Looky looky, her tail looks much better now!











I was going to get some photos of her out on the lawn, but they all followed me into the run to check out the littles in the end run...of course. They follow me everywhere.

Changing photos...lol Blast from the past. Two SG's.

Trying to down load some photos of my Gladys, it didn't work..I don't think..

draye...if you want to get these young black babies..I can try sending them to you..haven't done it before. not sure if you want to wait on your eggs you set..that is terrible what happened!!

Took the littles outside for their first time today (brooder needed a big clean lol). I also picked up some brabanter chicks today sooooo...

Looks like this little kid will be a splash


The chick up front is Phyllis. Phyllis has no tail feathers!


Splash kid on the right






See, Phyllis has no tail feathers!








This is also Phyllis - she's the least feathered of the chicks.


Also Phyllis lol








Apparently someone didn't want to eat standing up...






That little brabanter is almost as cute and the turken!








They were lamp kept before and didn't have a lot of time in the brooder/heat plate before I needed to move them outside to clean up the pen. Poor kids were nodding off a lot. They're parked under the heat plate now, catching up on some ZZzzzzs as much as possible.

Sorry guys.. BYC was acting up. Didn't think it posted. Tried later and couldn't even get on.

Agree! It took me a few tries just to get the page to get loaded up to post at all. Looks like it's leveled out now though.

When I tried to open the page a while ago I got a page that said they were updating the site and to try back later.
