Naked Neck/Turken Thread

[draye]

I have been MIA for a while now. I am getting ready for breeding season and have a question. I have 4 beautiful black NN Hens. One has black skin, one has feathered feet and the other 2 just have the black feathers and naked necks. I also have a very handsome Silver Pheonix Roo that is in with them. I am new to breeding and would like to know what I might expect to get if I hatched out these eggs. 3 of the hens are laying, but not sure which 3. They just started laying last week. I am not quite ready to hatch yet, I want to get a new incubator and need to build a brooder. I am kinda excited about these 2 breeds coming together though!

Not really sure what the outcome would be, but I think they'd be beautiful. Go for it and hatch a batch and post plenty of pictures when they hatch so we can all see. I should have a few Silver Phoenix hatching myself in about 12 days.

Had five chicks hatch out friday-three very pale chipmunk colored naked necks and one yellow naked neck. One non naked neck pale chipmunk. Mom a blue silkie and dad a dark RIR colored naked neck frizzle. 17 degrees and all doing well under mama. Will get some pictures as soon as weather warms up a little.

I would really like to find out exactly which hen created that. I know that my rooster was barred, but he probably carried another color as he threw alot of different colors with the various colored hens I had. Black, red, buff, black with red on her, and one that I called birchen her dad was a Iowa Blue and I think her mother was a black NN hen, anyway she had alot of lacing on her breast.
I have never gotten a rooster with that coloring, so am wondering what color to pair her with to recreate the coloring. If you should ever figure out the recipe for it let me know.

I am a chicken genetics dummy, have no clue how to make that again, but it is pretty and would be cool to recreate. I will more then likely mate her to my bichen black skinned NN boy w/ the funny comb.

I bet they will be beautiFUL!
It *looks* like your girls are Nana+ (one copy of naked neck gene), so each chick has a 50% chance of inheriting the naked neck gene.
The feather-leg hens should pass that to their offspring.
I don't know right off how 'silver x black' works or how the gene for 'long tail' is inherited.

Are NN hens more dominant than males when it comes to NN children? It doesn't matter to me cause I have 2 NN roosters and hens. But is this true??

Do you mean the baby chicks are dominated by hens as in the hens boss the chicks around ? Or do you mean that when NNs are chicks those that turn into females are more bossy while growing up ?

I may take mine and put her with my new Black Ameraucana along with 2 more that has almost the same coloring but little more silver (these are NN and EE crosses) looking than this hen.
