What would you call this color? Black Tailed White? It actually has very few black flecks through out its feathers. It also has a tad bit of red leakage coming out also.

It has me has me guessing what sex it is. First thought pullet. Then thought cockerel, now not sure. Looks almost like a Pullet but has a few longer feathers in the saddle area.

What would be the mother? I had my Golden Partrudge rooster in with 2 Black Gold hens, a Red hen, a Ehite hen, and a Blue Red hen.

STUMPED

a pretty pullet. I would call her princess. a lucky guess is that a white hen is her mother.

Ok. These are the two cleanest naked neck I have out of the 6 that survived of 8 chicks. Red is rooster.

These two should produce everything with a naked neck no matter what they are bred with.

Thanks Draye I was wondering about that. I also have one more black hen with two feathers on her neck. Since they probably aren't related to the rooster, would the trio be OK to breed?

Yes they'd be great together. However if you're concerned about approved APA colors the black and red together will get you quite a few blacks with red leakage.

That's a problem I'm running into with my blacks, I can't get a descent Bkack cockerel without the red leakage. But then again Red Winged Black ain't bad looking either.

Here's mine I have right now. 1/4 Black Jersey Giant, 1/4 Easter Egger and the rest Naked Neck.

Nice bird. I wasn't too worried about color and now that you mention size I have a nice sized project roo that I might put with one of the hens.

Also have Dark Cornish hens same age as the NN but I'm not happy with their size yet. Almost like they were bantam instead of LF

Years ago I got some eggs from a gal who said that she also gave me some Swedish flower hens eggs. It's the only possible answer I have for her. I do have Altsteirer chickens as well but they are in another pen. They also have a crest.
