Naked Neck/Turken Thread

[JacinLarkwell]

Okay thanks. I'll keep it if it's a hen but I'll keep a different male if it's a boy

I think both my older ones are boys. People said one of them was definitely a male and then the other one's legs are like 2x as thick adls the one people called a boy

Welp, one of my chicks gave me a scare a few days ago when I saw his head. Seems to be fine now though, so I think it's just his skin color. Debating on if I should try to maybe make Fibro Naked necks

I'm waiting on AC eggs to experiment with that myself a little bit.

I have several pullets with dark skin like that around their faces.

I was so scared it was an oxygen problem when I first saw it XD

I'm thinking i have a pair of Ayams, and my boy is going on a lot of dates between the female, some pheonixes and now a turkens hen hopefully

If you get the fibro Turkens I hope you post pics! It'll be next year before I hatch again after this month. Time to slow things down a bit.

It will be next spring at the earliest, unfortunately. My Ayam male hatched April 30th so he isn't ready and neither are any potential hens I get from my NN order.

Speaking of which, how early can you start sexing them? I'm still worried I only have boys XD

It really depends on the chicken. I've been able to tell as early as a few weeks but sometimes they're tricky. Post some pics, maybe we can give a guess. I usually watch their combs, the bigger ones at a young age indicate boys. Rose and pea combs are tricky for me though.
