Naked Neck/Turken Thread

I do know what you mean- so many colors and patterns it becomes hard to decide what directions to go in....  my laced NN  project were a total 'accident' due to a hen that by pure genetic coincidence had the beginnings of lacing.  Then I had thoughts of making LF henny feathered laced birds..... because there's barely any henny feathering in LF. Then thought about introducing blue.... And so on.....

How do you mean by no salmon hens?  It is tricky to guess which hens are genetic salmons, they look so much like regular wheaten hens...  the only thing I can think of is they could be the wheaten hens with a fair bit of patterning on their backs but thats not fool proof.. however with a salmon father, the chances are at least 50% ish

Remind me, your partridges are also mottled..?

Beautiful roo, he seems to have dun or chocolate maybe, do you know?  I never worked with either so could not tell much.  

If he has cream, he will add huge color variety to your flock for sure.  I love the cream look.

I guess that I was thinking more like the color of a Salmon Faverolle hen coloring. I did get a wheaten pullet that looks like an EE and one that is NN'd. I also got, not sure if the sex on them (one of each nn and not nn) yet that are colored kind of like this:

This hen was out of a buff Naked Neck. I was calling her a Salmon Buff because she had a buffish color to her. She reminded me a little if the salmon Faverolle hen coloring. I did get one pullet from this hen and the Salmon NN rooster:

Reba has been setting, the eggs should be ready wend, maybe a day or two late since it has been ridiculously cold, I have my fingers and toes crossed NOT to get a naked chick!!!! This spring I would like to hatch some, but do not want to have to juggle that through the winter.

Rudy his lady, and his bunnies have all been fine during this insane weather. We were ready w/ extra heat in case, but w/ his smaller coop, and coat and warm friends sharing the space he is making it just fine. We got 4 inches of snow yesterday, it has been 30's in the day and teens at night for a few nights now.

Beaker is just adorable, the only thing better then a NN is a NN w/ a hat.

thanks my roommate was like uhh that is the ugliest little creature I have ever seen what is it??? lol I was like it looks like a muphet I have to get it and beeker has had the most personality out of them all so I cant wait to see how he or she will grow up and look but I do love the fluffy hat as well
