Naked Neck/Turken Thread

Better pic of my girl. She's the youngest but doesn't let the bigger girls push her around.

Those look like the ones I got last year from a feed store that orders from a hatchery in Texas, if so they are wonderful birds, very healthy and great resilience, you will be so very happy you picked them up on a whim!

They're probably from Ideal, I'm thinking. My original NNs are from Ideal and they have been wonderful. Enjoy!!!!! 

I'm waiting on an order of 15 SR Turkens from Purely Poultry due on the 1st with another 15 SR light Brahmas, but just couldn't resist this beauties.

You gave me the itch with Turkens by reading your threads at Sustainable Meat / Standard Bred Dual Purpose Bird Thread about your birds, so you're the one to blame.....lmao....I was doing well with my Cornish crosses until you came along....lmao.

Warning, I think they're addicting. I never ever wanted them before reading DesertChick and a few others, and doing a little research. Now that I have them they might become my main focus/breed. Going to keep one line pure and another see if I can get 3/4 CX's eventually with naked necks. Will be packing the incubator for the Easter HAL with as many naked neck eggs as I can get and hopefully some CX crosses.

Guys, Dunlap Hatchery called me today. Their NN hatch was a horrible fail (they had some power issues, I think), something like 18 NNs after setting 300+ eggs. So those chicks will NOT be arriving on Saturday. We will try again next week - fingers crossed that their hatch goes ok.

Hmmmm...same thing happened to me with purely poultry!!! Were supposed to be shipped on the 21st but they called and told me that I wouldn't get mine till nxt week shipped the 1st because they couldn't complete my order for some reason.

You guys are seriously giving me the itch to hatch more chicks!

maybe girl hoping anyway.




They are still being brooded inside so they have been completely off heat for a week or so now. I will be moving them to the garage soon so they may go back on night heat for a few days to adjust when I move them.

Phil those are my guesses.
