Naked Neck/Turken Thread

[Georgia Boy 1970]

Are you sure it isn't crested legbar in her lineage????? That would explain the crest and egg color all in one fell swoop.


I went and looked up pics of them her color and top knot type look very similar to me.

Could be,I really didn't think about that possibility.

What percentage of chicks will I get from a non -naked neck mated with a naked neck with a bow tie?

You can expect half Naked Neck and half feather neck (or each chick has a 50% chance to inherit a copy of naked neck gene).
Those will be some wicked cool colorful chicks! And will probably lay some shade of blue-green egg. All my Polish x NNGE crosses lay some shade of blue-green egg.

Does it have Brahma in the mix? I just love the look.

no its just old type cochin(Long leged and brahma type) they came to Nicaragua like in the 1800s

leg bars are single combed. she doesn't look single combed?

pea comb and O gene for colored eggs are very closely linked in most of U.S. stock. there are stocks where this link has been broken- O gene 'ditched' the pea comb gene and hooked up with single comb... birds like this were used in legbar breedings.

in the long term you may find out if her gene for colored eggs is linked with pea comb- if you breed her with single comb and all pea combed daughters/granddaughters lay colored and none of the single combed ones do... that would rule out legbar and go back to EE stock.

EE mixes are rather common, there always was occasional postings on BYC asking about crossing EE with breed X, including polish. so this is kinda the more likely answer for the time being.. until legbars are more common and we can be sure they will mix with other breeds more frequently.

Legbars also give the chance to breed them into different breeds or personal project lines if pea comb is not desired...

Thanks Dipsy Doodle Doo for that information.Can't wait to see what comes out of that pen.Would love to see pics of your PolishxNNGE crosses.Did you have any frizzles out of that cross?

You are right.Legbars are not that common around here.Most people would not even think about paying a large amount of money for legbars and then cross them.

Hi I just have one quick question. I am recieving 1 dozen eggs from a friend.She is running a NN roo and another roo (mutt) with assorted 18 hens (including a couple NN) Is there a chance that halfbreeds will show the NN feathering?
