Naked Neck/Turken Thread

I'm out her in the garden, well where our garden will be growing soon, and my silkie roo keeps chasing my bantam NN BR! And they are mating!

They are enjoying the easy meal of fresh dug worms! Yum

Here he is engaged in the chase! My poor girl, will he show interest in other girls!

Pics of the girls at 3 weeks today




She is starting to grow a top knot, she is by far the lightest mostly white w/ some black feathers. She has light Fm also.




This is a barred girl w/ a top knot also




This girl I am only about 50% on but really hoping.






This girls color/pattern is very interesting, doesn't show in the pics as nice as it really is.

Now for the boys at 3 wks today




This is one I was really hoping was a girl, but there just is no chance at all.





One of the 3 barred boys





This boy was the first out, Gary named him E.B. for eager beaver. I am keeping him













This boy needs a heavy metal rocker name, look at that messy thick eye liner, smeared from a sweaty performance.





The only red of the group and has a pea"ish" comb, came from a green egg was really hoping for him to be a girl.

Wow that black one is sure black! Skin too! Is she a specific breed?

I have fibro genetics in my flock, same as dipsy's, "dipsy goth", the firbro was added to my NN before I got them and think it comes from Sumatra mixed in.

Only about 3 years, but I'm good at noticing patterns. I watch my baby chicks a lot and to me most are blatently obvious. Comb, legs, stance, feathering, behavior, all together and I can usually tell. Some of mine are by specific colors I have observed only happen in boys in my flock w/ my mixes or only in girls.

I have to wonder what it would be like if I breed my Delaware rooster with my Turken hen. Will I end up with turken chicks??? And will they be white I wonder?? Or maybe be barred like the hen? Has anyone tried that?

Delaware Patterned chickens and maybe some solid barred too. Could be other colors depending on the hens coloring. I had some red barred ones at one time. I used a barred rooster though.

Tigger is in the back. Gotta look past my cocky, camera ham named Solomon. (He's an OEGB.)

There's Tigger!!

Tigger again!!
