Naked Neck/Turken Thread

[spunkychickenmomma]

I know this has been asked before but I couldn't find the post. I have my barred rock rooster with 5 naked neck hens. 3 hens are black and 2 are red. Will the chicks that come out barred be female since the father is barred?
Thanks for your help.

Yes, unless one of your hens has a dominant white gene. Which I doubt.

Even if they did have a dominant white, they'd have some form of barring.

Hopefully you'll get more colors from them.
I'm hoping that my Buff Laced 1/2 Polish-1/2 EE will give me more colors also. But then again I'm not too terribly worried about it, just mostly trying to learn a few things as I go along with my project.

you should see more colors. GB's birds seem pure for dominant white crossed with splash, which is basically a 'pure bred with another pure' which usually puts a limit on variety of colors in the first generation.

if you're asking if it's a sex linked mating, answer is no... because all of the chicks of both sexes will be barred. For sex linked mating using barring, it has to be non-barred roo with barred hens.

But if you just wanted barred hens, the answer would be a happy yes.

beautiful bird even if neck not naked.

Hi I will be getting some cuckoo naked neck bantams and I'm wondering if cuckoo is recognized by the ABA. Any advice I helpful I am very exited they are show quality.

Think it's only red, white, black, and buff for naked necks

Here's my little flock gone to roost in the new pen I just finished for them.


The cockerel is descended from Kev's stock and the frizzles come from Dipsy Doodle Doo.
Can't tell from the pictures but it's snowing outside. They're nice and cozy!

Looks like my girl has a twin. ​

Frizzle turken, Hubby wants to cross her with the blue sumatra, hmmmm

I would like to have a whole flock of these beauties.These girls are going to be part of a project to try get something like the hen of muddyhorse along with these guys. ​

How about this gal? She is NN and is the the daughter of one of the frizzles I got from Dipsy Doodle Doo. Her papa was a showgirl.

BTW Lisa - I have that same nakedness problem at times with her - we call her chemo chicken right now.

Here is a really pretty pullet I hatched this spring - not frizzle but I really like her colors and majorly feathered feet.

I know this is an old post.These are some gorgeous birds.Just looking back through the thread and admiring all the unique variety among everyone's naked necks.
