Naked Neck/Turken Thread

[JacinLarkwell]

I'm amazed at how handleable my younger three arw. I can just scoop then up and they don't panic or try to get away. They just sit there.

Meanwhile my giant of a boy has a panic attack when I look at him and don't have food now. I wonder if the hens are spreading rumors about me

The rest I believe are hens.

My naked necks are very calm and friendly, too! Rufus seems pretty easy going!

Any chance you could tell me how safe it is to cross breed chickens? My mother is worried when I told her I wanted to cross breed a frizzle a Turkish naked neck and featherless and a polish crested, how safe is it to do this?
