Naked Neck/Turken Thread

I know in EEs, if you start seeing orange color coming in the wing area, it's a good chance it is a male. Does that hold true with NNs, too?

I believe it is that way with any breed.

Some pictures of my 3 breeding hens taken today. Spock, Spock & Murtle (the reddish hen in the first picture).

Spock, Spock and Murtle sounds like a firm of lawyers.....nice looking ones, though!

Georgia Boy.....seriously cool chickens.

Flower.....your girls look in very good condition. It must be very difficult with the dry. Actually I am talking rubbish. Chickens love to dust bathe....they don't like a mud pack.

Been think of you and your animals ! How are you and all the great muddy beasts ? Clean birds must look too clean to you these days ! ((PG)) =hugs to the MUD Queen

aoxa I clicked on the second pic, the black portrait, great resolution. I love looking at the close up of chickens eyes. Maybe all birds eyes look cool ?

Thanks Flower

Wish it went as bigger than it does, because it looks even cooler full view. Ah well. Spock has some wicked eyelashes.

Flower....just for the moment, the Mud Major has become the Snow Queen. We have a month of sub zero temps forecast to harden the ground....definitely better than the never-ending mud.

The NNs usually cope very well with the cold, though their necks and faces often look purplish. Time to make big pots of porridge with sunflower seeds and lots of hot pasta, with regular ice breaking on the water. What do other folk give to their birds in the cold?

My NNs really don't ever seem too bothered by snow, though the number who go into the agricultural shed to steal sheep food usually goes up.

Since you keep sheep and chickens.. ever have any issues with the sheep killing chickens? I have two ewes and I'm so nervous that they will stomp them to death. Is that just crazy thinking?

Aw PG, I hope the weather straightens out there. That would just be miserable for all the critters (and people as well).

My first Naked Necks of 2013 are hatching today --- set 12/25. I shouldn't have set any eggs at all, because my Mom was in the hopsital and I was spending daaaays at a stretch there, BUT setting eggs was my Christmas present to myself : )
These are more from the blue / splash Naked Neck Frizzle Green-Egger pen.
