Naked Neck/Turken Thread

I got a pair of unanticipated NNs from my NYD hatch! Turns out the day the meat roosters got in to the laying flock they had more fun in a shorter amount of time than I expected LOL!



They really are two separate chicks LOL! They are almost identical in size, shape, and the white markings on their wings.

Surprise!
 
Kassaundra:

Did you see these that hatched for me on NYD.
Total of 16 or 17 NN's. I only have 10 chicks keft out of the fifty that I hatched. Sold the rest and had to cull a few.

Cool, you were able to sell the NN too, that is great since you were having trouble getting interest in them.
 
My young roos are starting to show interest in the ladies, so won't be long until I have fertile eggs from my chickens again.
 
Congrats!!!
Contrats indeed!

I have good friends who tell me that they wouldn't let their kids see a newly hatched NN. I've never told them what I want....It would go something like...'I wouldn't want your kids around either, they look like frogs to me and they might scare the HE double L out of my chicks'...

...... I smeared vaseline on Eds comb and wattles for tonight and on his neck too, okay he might not have needed it but it made me feel better.
 
I brought the majority of mine in the house tonight. :oops: The "real feel" outside right now (7pm) is -18. Brrr. The majority of mine are tiny bantams, though, or silkies, frizzles, young NNs who hate the cold, etc etc. The hardier ones stayed out with the ducks under a heat lamp and a good couple layers of thick plastic wrapped around the coop.

Cute baby pics posted, guys! I'm biased, but NN chicks are just about the cutest thing ever.

I thought about it ShayBaby, especially since I already have a Brahma hen in her recovering from Bumble foot, but 36 flock members and 4 dogs and 2 adults was a bit much so they are all bedded down and as cozy as they can be. it's 8* right now I have no idea what the wind chill is but it's blowing hard.

A cleaning lady comes in once a week and I hear her mumble about the dog hairs and whatever else crosses her mine. I give her a wide latitude because getting/keeping reliable house cleaners around here is very difficult and she's been here for almost 6 years..

If I brought in 450+ chickens...even for just a couple days....I can't even contemplate the destruction...
