Naked Neck/Turken Thread

[Kassaundra]

X2 @Kassaundra that is big for a hen.
Glad you did the math. I don't know those grams and kilograms and such.

I don't know most of them, but lbs to kgs and back I do everyday at work in the medical field.

Any one with an SOP, what is the standard weight of the Naked Neck?

 

[draye]

I think I found my answer


Traits
Weight Male: Standard: 3.9 kg
Bantam 965 g[1]
Female: Standard: 3 kg
Bantam 850 g[1]
Skin color yellow
Egg color light brown
Comb type single
Classification
APA all other breeds[2]
ABA single comb clean legged
PCGB rare soft feather: heavy [3]

3.9 x 2.2 = 8.58 lbs? Rooster

3 x 2.2 = 6.6 lbs? Hen

Bought this pretty little naked neck bantam hen the other day. I would really like to get into breeding naked neck oegb. Anyone have an opinion on what color oegb roo I should breed her to to get started? She's all white with just a brush of grey on the top of her head

Personally I would stick with the White.

I would go with another bantam NN though, you'll loose the NN type with Game Chickens.

Does anyone here know if they would do well in colder weather like say WA state weather? I have a EE/NN/feral game mix and I'm wondering if I moved up north and took him/her with me if he/she would be alright? He/she has a pea comb but seems a tiny bit lighter in body than pure NNs.

There is a guy in Maine that raises Madagascars. It gets really cold there. He said he has been raising them for 3 years now and has not lost a single bird to the cold. So I would say Naked Necks should take the cold pretty good as long as you keep them out of the wind.

Thank you for the response gives me hope.

This is the sire of

This one. 17 weeks old on May 1st. His mother was a Golden Cuckoo crossbred hen that I owned at one time. Sorry I have no picture of her.

I hadn't planned on keeping anything rooster wise with barring in him. His daddy died suddenly and I had no other replacement from him so this is it. Other than the coloring I think he is turning out pretty good.

Not really thinking about the cross when I done it, it was a sex link cross. To me he looks like the coloring of a typical Black Sex Link rooster.
So I now have a question. About what percentage of his his will be barred or some kind of barring? I'm guessing about 1/4 to 1/2.

I'm Starting to get Discouraged

I've been Searching Years Now, ..... All I'm wanting are : N N Bantams : in WA State , And all I can find are Large, that and Attitudes from " real Breeders " who condem my " Mutt Chickens "

, Just sooooo ,

Ya gotta "create" your own breed, find some tiny bird, Serama or Silver Seabright and believe it or not a full size NN rooster. Yes the little bantam will tolerate being bred by a big rooster.
