Naked Neck/Turken Thread

[BlueBaby]

But I don't want the least amount of feathers. I want the ones with a big tuft of feathers for a bowtie and then the rest of the neck to be bare. I really don't know how else to explain it. Maybe I'll get pictures tonight to try and explain it

The big tuff's of feather's as I think that you are trying to describe, I'm thinking are the one's that we call as having bib's.

What bow ties are considered full?

I have three with what I consider small bow ties.

And then there is this girl... would she be considered a full bow tie?

Your last one has a bib.

No, if you breed her to that boy, the chick's will come out as some having the bib's and some will have the fully feathered neck's.

I was talking about how you got her, NN x nn.

No, if you breed her to that boy, the chick's will come out as some having the bib's and some will have the fully feathered neck's.

When my white pullet is bred by my normal rooster, it would be pullet Nn x rooster nn = 50% with one N from the mom. So only half of the chicks would have the bib like she does. You just have to hatch more eggs!

So bibs and bowties are different?

Ok, but my answer is still the same as what I posted for you.

Yes. The bigger tuffs resemble a baby wearing a bib.

Here's an older thread that can help you to understand:

I was thinking that if @JacinLarkwell wanted all his chicks to have the nice feather bibs, he could breed a normal pullet to a very naked neck - NN male.

Oksy, thanks so much. That's where the confusion was. So a NN to a nn will make offspring with bibs, not bowties

Yes. Some people like the bib's. Other's that have them as food also don't, because it's more to have to pluck.
