Naked Neck/Turken Thread

[Phage]

...

Double stacked.....

Haha!  how many eggs was that do you remember?

Not sure I counted but was in the region of 200.
Unstacked the shelves take 150. I think all levels had some stacking.

Well yesterday the world became a little richer and beautiful with the hatch if 9 more little Naked Necks.

I had a total of 32 I pulled from the incubator. The other 23 were mixed breeds. One looks like it will be a Blue Barred. I suspect a cockerel had it had a head spit and the other blue one was plain blue.
18 of the mixed were some kind of White Leghorn crosses white with big old black blotches in them, a couple had some red leakage I figure may have been from the ones that were with the Welsummer rooster.

I'll try to get some Naked Neck pictures in the next day or two, maybe it'll be a little warmer.

Below are two pictures I took after pulling them out if the incubator. I was so tired after working 7 and a 1/2 hour day. Coming home and feeding, then butchered 4 of the 17+ week old cockerels I don't need, and done it by myself at that. Pulling the chicks, then back to the butchered ones to gut them. Wife said she didn't know how. She did help clean them up though and cut up the pieces.
After all that I forgot the NN babies.

These are the Black and blue chicks.

Here are the 18 that are the Leghorn crosses.

Here are some photos of my NN cockerels and pullet:


^ Here is the pullet (Genisis) and my red cockerel (Mr Chic)


On the right side of the photo is my white and red cockerel (Mr Colorful) Not the best photo I know, he's a bit camara shy. He has a black tail, with red and black patches on his shoulders, and blue legs. I can't wait to see what these guys throw when I start breeding them next spring.

Mr Chic looks like twin brother of my cockerel who is the father of my chicks (on the above pics). their moms are both white.
