Naked Neck/Turken Thread

[Flowerbh]

Ok that was the best laugh all day today.

Pretty birds!

Flowerbh- It's funny how people jump to conclusions about NN huh? One repeat customer for peafowl never said anything about the NN however when I talked to his wife(who never visited), turns out he had assumed they were feather plucked.. a friend of nephew's went home and told his parents I shaved the necks on my chickens...

It might be fun to make up a little something.. I've told people they were bred in Transylvania as protection against vampires... the little bowties were pop plugs to their jugulars... some of the reactions

were priceless but that's probably just my dark humor.

Yea, I will have to think of something. Maybe that I needed to refill my down pillows and I just needed a few feathers, so I just took a little from a few? (yea, I know, down comes from water fowl) I may borrow your stories! LOL

Looks like part Speckled Sussex or Jubliee

Neither color in that bird. Salmon Naked Neck roo and a Salmon-Buffish colored hen made that color.

Think I stick calling it Tricolor.

I think your salmon buffish is what my rooster will be like when he is fully grown. Tricolor is a good name for that new one. However maybe party colored?? They use to have what they called party coloring I can't remember what it was though been years since I have seen one like that.

Hey that's a good one! tell the guests the feathers were used in the guest pillows or blankets.......

on other hand maybe not, some people don't take too kindly to that kind of humor and they're your customers....

This chick shows both parents are mottle carriers. The roo has the gene(s) for the dark red coloring.

as for name it's up to you. How it looked as chick can be a possible clue, say if it had same color and down pattern as speckled sussex, it's probably a similar gene combination, likewise for Jubilee.

Going to try for mottled salmon?

You know now that you mention it it could've been this one is the mother: , instead of the other one. As far as I know that other hen doesn't carry mottling unless barring is considered mottling. This one would account for the mottled look on this young one, I didn't think of it as mottling really, but I guess that is what it is. Maybe I need to try for Mottled Naked Necks. I think I'm going to use it anyway regardless of whether or not it creates NN's or not. I just think it is cool coloring.
