Naked Neck/Turken Thread

Thanks all for the input. she is separated in the house in a Large dog crate. I put bacitracin on the wound last night after cleaning it.. I am going to apply some more today. If I put the honey on after how do you get it off? to put more bacitracin on. or do you just keep putting the honey on?

If she were my bird, I would use only one type of application, keep it dry, clean and isolated. It will heal using any one of the treatments that people have posted. In the picture it looks like dry scab. Keep up the good work and post again when you have seem healing !

Thank you will do.

Whichever application you use it will need regular cleaning, if you apply honey/iodine or sugar/iodine, or any of the other suggestions you just wash if off during normal wound cleaning.

I agree chose one and use it.

I would say too, in addition to any topical antibiotic you are using I would also use an ingested or injected antibiotic. W/ that kind of an open wound that extensive, presumably from a preditor w/ dirty mouths she will need antibiotics.

Some pics of the crew at 10.5 weeks



This one I believe is the son of my araucana (bbr) and Reba my red NN hen

Fancy Reba's daughter




This girl may also be Reba's daughter, but I think her feathers are going to have a pattern, unlike Reba and Fancy

as for the first bird- bbr and black tail buff cannot produce black chicks. Black and birchen are the two most dominant colors, so that boy had one black or birchen parent- sex doesn't matter...

That last girl is about what to expect out of bbr bred with black tail buff.. not saying the araucana is the father just to give an idea of what color/pattern you could expect. Some can even be clean buffs with black tails. It's because buff bodies with black tails are often due to presence of Co- a dominant gene with rather strong influence. It likes to remove the black pigments from the bodies, yet not have too much effect on necks and tails.

Beautiful birds and pics as usual.

Beautiful birds with very nice red color! Unfortunately have to agree, looks like mostly boys. Wonder if you would be able to use good quality show stock RIR hens to breed with the boy(s) to get more red NN?

Here's a few of my NN's there still young but they all look like roosters except 1

, I have 7 of them in total... I gotta get some leg bands for them so I can tell who's who. I might of took a pic of the same one twice idk

.. These are D. Urch lines.

Kev,

My NNs are pure white. If I want to try to make showgirls - I have white silkies. Now if they don't have any colour bleeding through or any black spots, can I assume when bred to a white silkie all babies will be white?

I think one of them had a black dot as a chick though. The rest were all yellow.

Both parents were not white. Does this make a difference?

Wow, they were so soft white I assumed they were recessive white. That one with black spot, was it a strongly defined and random spot like on a dalmatian or was it more like a stripe on back or head?

It's possible to have both recessive white and dominant white birds out of same birds.

Did any parents have white tails or neck striping? I do recall you have a handsome red silkie mix roo with dominant white.. For example him bred with a black hen can give solid white chicks(usually whites with some brown bleeding, though)

If the parents were both black or cuckoo, or black and browm/red/gold with no white anywhere... recessive white for sure.

what color are the non-white siblings? are any buff or brown with white tails/primaries?

It was a spot you would see on a dominant white bird, but they all are perfectly soft white. No spots or bleeding through (at least not yet). I assumed they would feather out like Brian, that dominant white rooster I had (he was mostly red with white in tail and wings).

The father of these birds was a white leghorn. The mothers were: Barred, Black, and Red (with white in hackles and tail), as well as white. I think he had a white NN hen...

It's hard to say who the mothers were for sure. They all came out of coloured eggs, and all have pea combs.

Thanks for the clarification Kev, I was just going by unknowing genetic look of the color in my guesses.


I have a cute thing to share. All the juvenile chicks are intergrated w/ the adults and today w/o to much trouble. While out giving the whole group a treat tonight Jaxom was chasing away all the young (11 wk olds) so that his girls could eat the treats. He wasn't being mean just making sure his girls were taken care of. (and they had plenty of other placed to get the same treat, I put out several feeding stations)


There was a distressing thing today too, Buzz my Sc carrier has a lame leg, hoping he just pulled a muscle or something, it felt fine and I didn't see any obvious problem w/ it.

I'm confused- in OP you said the parents were not white..? Is the leghorn the father or grandfather?


Kassaundra, hope Buzz is allright....

I meant that both of them were not white. At least the father was.

Should have made that more clear. The mothers could have carried recessive white maybe?
