Naked Neck/Turken Thread

[Phill98]

Your English is great, I garuntee better then my whatever your mother tongue is! 

4 hatched on their own, I assisted one, he is doing well in the incubator all night, he will be returned this morning to the group.  So 5 total.  So far she is responding really well to the naked chick.

Thank you! I live in Croatia so I'm glad that my English is good. Can you show some of your older hens?

Hi all you NN experts,

This is Moto (she I think) is about 10 weeks old....not sure of age, a friend of a friend did the feed store impulse buy and then pawned them off on me, when he realized he didn't really want chickens. I have had them for a about 8 weeks now.

This is my first Naked Neck. Over the past couple of weeks her face has turned red. Is this normal?? I have checked for lice/mites and don't see any signs of them. They are in an indoor brooder, so it isn't a sunburn. Any ideas?? Her comb is still very pale, like you would expect.....just this red mask on her face. It is on both sides.

Sorry the pic is bad. It's night and there isn't enough light. I can take another one tomorrow if need be.

Thank you

Thank you.

And the red face...normal you think??

 

[Phill98]

It's not unusual for face to get redder.
Is she black with brown around her neck and head? That is typical hen colouring.

Yes, mostly black with a few scattered brown feathers
