I have one that looks like your grey one, she's a cutie.
I have to ask..... I hatched some pure naked necks, and two roos do not have the naked neck, they look like regular roos, does that mean that they only carry the naked neck gene?

Hi! That's interesting. I've never heard of NNxNN chicks not having naked necks. Is it possible that a non-naked neck bird was involved?
If they don't show a naked neck to some degree, they didn't inherit the gene for naked neck. They don't have it and can't pass it to their offspring. They can't carry it (recessively) because Na is a dominant gene (I said that wrong, somebody say it more clearly).

Pretty, pretty, pretty, Marco!

Now ya got me going, I am going to have to take somepics, it was strange, all the pullets are naked necks, all the roos aren't and they were all from the same batch. The one roo is beautiful, though, and very mellow

If Na is a dominant gene, does that not mean the Na trait is shown in all offspring? Maybe there was a milkman-rooster involved there somewhere?

Hi! Here are two chicks I needed to document. They are from my splash frizzled NN green-egger roo, Treasure, and one of his splash smooth dark-skinned smooth NN daughters (daughter is from crossing T' back to blue Ameraucana).

The black-skinned chick is showing frizzle and I'd guess at 4-days-old, a girl. I'd bet the chick on the right is a boy.
Nekked, nekked, nekked with minimal down (I took a butt pic, but it was scary).
The cool thing is egg color is comparable to my full Ameraucanas (and why I collect eggs with a marker in my pocket, hahaha).
