Naked Neck/Turken Thread

I can't wait to see everyone's whites! I'm not particularly a huge fan of white birds, but I will say the NNs certainly sway that opinion

This is precisely how I feel! The first white NN I instantly fell in love with. That's why I want one so badly.

I certainly think that white NNs are lovely, but every time I see one I automatically am reminded of Colonel Sanders...

SO happy that I didn't cull the little NN with the curled wings, a week later, and it seems they fixed themselves and can fully open. I'm still keeping my eye on her though, if I see any other flaws, I may hold her back from my breeding projects

Anyone else raise white nns?

I have three white hens. They're not pure white as I'd like them to be, they have a few black spots. Working on that though.

I just got our naked neck Turken today, he doesn't have his spurs and looks pretty young. The woman I got him from had an interesting back story. So back in October her lighter colored red sex-link hen got out. She looked frantically for her all over her neighborhood asking if anyone had seen her and if they had to please put her back into her fenced around chicken run. Well a neighbor found her and text the lady while she was at work and let her know her chicken was back safe and sound. She was eager to go see her hen, but her hen had been returned but with a companion also. She never had never seen this other chicken before, so that evening she went around asking if anyone had lost their pet chicken? No one claimed this odd chicken, she called animal control who informed her "She" is actually a "He" and roosters are banned in her town of Paradise. They took her report and told her she had to find him a home. She looked for a home while posting him to Craigslist and even in the newspaper. Which made matters worse she thought that someone had abused, neglected, cut off his feathers, or he had some disease and that's why he had missing neck and some breast feathers lol I answered her ad and eased her worry. I said "that is a naked neck turken, he's a young rooster. I told her I'd take him, and well here we are. He's healthy, vibrant, and beautiful. I'm putting him in a 30 day quarantine just in case. Just so in case something pops up that it won't spread to my clock. Her coops were extremely clean though. So now I have a Turken but need hens lol

What a great story! After he passes quarantine just let him breed with your girls and you'll have NNs running all over the place in no time.

Great story and great pic! btw if that hen or other hens are laying, eggs would be fertile.. a way to get more naked necks?

Yes, but I'd like other naked neck hens currently I don't have any naked neck hens. All the hens I own have rooster to them already, I like to keep my lines pure. My husband named him Trump lol
