Naked Neck/Turken Thread

The first thing I would do is treat him for parasites --- external mites and / or lices and internal worms. Hope he perks up soon!

OK, so I home from FL. I haven't seen my chicks since they were 3 days old. They are 10 days old now. Out of the 4 NNs, only 1 is frizzled. The frizzled one is the one I called BB (for Bare Bottom). One more non-naked necked one is frizzled. It is the little blue chick. The other 4 are regular feathered. Here are some photos.

Non-NN frizzle chick.

BB. My frizzled splash NN without feathers on her butt, stomach and only a mohawk down her back.

This one looks blue with some cream colored feathers. Non frizzled. Sorry about the little poopy.

First to hatch....Non NN. Not frizzled. I pegged this one a male from day one. If this one isn't a male, I will eat my shoe!

So, I ended up with 3 Splash NNs (1 is frizzled), 1 blue NN, one splash non-NN and one blue non-NN frizzle. I also have one Wyandotte.

So, now, I am waiting to see which are males and which are females! In your experience with baby chicks, do females grow out their tail feathers faster? I have some who already have tails and others none. Just wondering if there are little things like that that can tell you early.

In my limited experience, females do grow out tails faster than males.

I have not been on in awhile and am still trying to catch up but had to quick share what I found in the coop!

LL cute chicks!!! I'm lousy at guessing gender unless I'm looking at the chick in person and even then, it's a guess for me.
