I might be interested ill let u know. My son has the reds right now. We ordered 3 more from a hatcher after a fox attack left him with only one. We get them in April. Ill see what color we get and ask him then what color he wants to stick with. I think I want to do white. Most likely my son will want to stick with red.
 
Incompletely dominant traits (Naked necks and Frizzled feathers) will only hatch sometimes (about 50% each), and should NOT be bred together when these birds are mature, to prevent debilitating feathering problems,...

I just read this (on an ad selling Naked Neck eggs) and never heard that Naked Necks should not be bred together. Is this something new? We know not to breed frizzle x frizzle.
 
Picture time for some of this weeks' chicks : )

These two are from a single comb blue frizzle Naked Neck guy with Java x Jersey Giant hen. First time I've made this cross. The splash is a frizzle for sure, but can't tell yet on the black.

Some Naked Neck Fm Green-Egger chicks. The only hen laying in that pen was a feather-leg girl (lays a beautiful blue egg) that I had been meaning to move out, but since she was there...

I've heard that from show breeders and also showgirl breeders. Never got anything specific other than 'just not good' or 'makes them too naked'. As for showgirls, I think the real issue is Na combined with rose/pea/walnut that can sometimes make very naked chicks- totally bare neck, almost all bare breast, sides under wings, very exposed vent plus large broad naked areas around face, nose and even around bottom of the crest knob can be "shocking". Possibly some worries about their ability to tolerate winter cold?

I had one line of homozygous only hatchery stock bred for several generations.... didn't notice any health or feather issues. Was breeding for totally clean necks, that did not happen at all in this line.

I'd be curious if there are any specific claims, too.

Great chicks. :)

I'm hoping someone here might be able to help. We have a Naked Neck chick that was hatched on 3-3-14 from Cackle. Its always appeared to have a round body to us. Yesterday we noticed it seems to have a large swollen mass underneath it. I'm guessing because of the naked trait it helps make it easier to see. The mass feels like a full crop, like a balloon that's filled with crumble/feed. The vent is not blocked, we've watched it pass stool and it was a normal amount and everything looked normal. Its running around and acts fine. Any ideas?
