Naked Neck/Turken Thread

Would it be possible to breed a bantam NN to a class a serama. has anyone tried. would you have to use artifical insemination. I think a serama NN would be awesome

Hey I found the bird I was thinking of! Hope he inspires you to GO FOR IT!

Kassaundra, what was Dragon bred with and is artsyrobin continuing that line? It would have been so nice if the boy above went a-courtin Dragon....

That is one adorable little NN.

I do not know what Dragons ancestery is, don't think Robin does either, and I'm not sure the Dragon's egg daddy was

I don't think any of the chicks ended up w/ her cool patterning though.
 
Wow! Love that little NN!

I think I'm going to try using one of my bantam Ameraucanas against my NN pullets. If the NN pullets are black and my cockerel is blue, will I get BBS colours, or no?

I know whites hide lots of colours, but does black?

Yes BBS. Short answer: yes expect blacks with BBS colors but don't be surprised if a few might show some off-color on necks/saddles.


Black is dominant and usually doesn't hide anything, unless they were part of projects such as lavender or they were freely mixed color-wise in which case they could be not pure blacks carrying wheaten or partridge... those usually show some gold or silver lacing on hen's necks/breasts or on the hackle/saddle zones on roosters.

Crossing two blacks of different breeds can sometimes give surprises such as blacks with color on necks/breasts/saddles. This is because there are two common different genetic 'blacks'*. One black doesn't need much helper genes to turn them totally solid black, the other common black is based on birchen and this needs more helper genes to turn them solid colored so if you cross these two, some birds may be birchen and not have all of the helper genes.

Thanks Kev!





These are the two I'm thinking about trying.

I haven't posted pics of Jaxom lately so here he is the little roolet.






His chick fuzz was black w/ red halo in the light the ends looked red so all this white was a suprise to me.
 
Not sure what it's called, but I think it is a mix between a single and ????? whatever breed is in his ansestery that gives him dark skin.
