These hatched 2/16, Naked Neck Green-Eggers,

These are from the eggs set C'mas day.
See this crazy comb? It is flat, but wide and bumpy.

How young can you tell boys from girls? I have 3 and I hope they are not all roos They are about 2 weeks old and their feathering is beautiful

Yes, these crazy-comb youngsters all have the blue egg gene and 'modified pea-type' combs. The splash NN Frizz G-E guy I'm using in #2 pen
(as a youngster himself)

started with a neat comb, but his comb has just gotten wider and wider as he matured and his wattles are massive.
I'm on the fence whether I like the *look*. I'll

ok guys,
i am jumping in head first with this so any tips will be appreciated.

i put a pen together with a NN rooster(white with a little black on his back)from Drayes' eggs in with all easter eggers/olive eggers,all have pea combs and lay some shade of green eggs.The rooster has a bow tie if that means anything.
i want to hatch some and sell some eggs so what can i expect and what should i tell the egg buyers?

i love the frizzle NN

I don't know 'Drayes eggs', but from the information you could safely say the chicks have a 50% chance of inheriting 'naked neck' and a greater possibility of inheriting 'blue egg gene'.
Maybe, Draye could say more.

Lisa, very interesting comb! No chance of rosecomb in this line? I'm wondering if it could be rosecomb and pea comb together..?

GeorgiaBoy, that is a very fine Polish roo! Can't wait to see your chicks out of him- he will help with crests big time.

Thanks,got him from a friend,the only thing is he is bantam,but I really wanted to add the dun gene into the crested naked neck project.The splash frizzle naked neck hen has been with the polish rooster only a few days.So should have eggs from this pair to go into the incubator,when the incubator is refilled the first week of march.

It could be influence from 'way-back-genes' from Silkie (walnut comb?) popping out, but nothing rosecombed in this line. This guy is the only one with this crazy wide comb I had hatched and he was (for my purposes) perfect in every way. Now his wattles are so huge they get in is way and he goes to peck at something and then has to shake it out to get everything back in place. He is perfectionally 'functional' but I'm not used to seeing the oversized wattles in these birds.
The red early-on would be say "male" to me.
