Naked Neck/Turken Thread

[janiedoe]

Are you going to try to get those green egg laying NN's too from those?

I have a big (almost 12 lbs) old ee roo who has blessed me with tons of daughters that lay green and blue. Honestly, I just bought more naked necks because I felt sorry for them.
I bought the 2 legbars because I lost my two a couple of years ago and they were so sweet.
I'm hoping to hatch out some crele brahmas ( I found a source of eggs within driving distance) and keep a rooster or two to breed with the naked neck girls.

Nice of you to rescue them! I'm looking for some more of the buff colored one's that have a black tail and yellow leg's.

The girls I got from ideal are pretty and one of them is buff with a black tail but both have greenish legs.
I hope these new girls are as sweet and friendly.

@BlueBaby these are all supposed to be pullets but I noticed the 1st one pictured has a noticeable comb already. What do you think?

Just watch how it get's in a couple more week's along with how the feet and leg's grow. Also watch to see how he or she stand's (if cocky like or not).

I told my husband when I came home with them, that I was going to find homes for half of them. Lol. I've already started naming them so he better be a she.

I went to Tractor Supply today. There was a brooder (one of those new stacking ones) that had 6 nn in it. They had pasty butt. Two were down and looked pitiful. I hadn't planned on getting chicks this spring but I felt so bad for them. I brought them home & Cleaned them up. It was so bad that I had to trim the butt fluff off some of them. Anyway, after some electrolytes and heat (mhp) all seem ok. I'm hoping they all make it. I bought two CCLB too. I thought I might as well.

Excellent! Usually I don’t bring home sickly chicks but these are NN and if they don’t improve, I would be curious why.

My TSC had some of those new brooders overloaded with screaming white leghorns. I put my hand up and it seemed too cold. Walked out with only my feed
