Naked Neck/Turken Thread

[janiedoe]

I'm officially attached to the chicks. All have names now. Lol Since I have an Imogene & an Ernestine NN, I've decided all NN females must have names ending with "ine" or "ene" so...

I still have hope for a Geraldine, Josephine, & Eullalene.
The legbars were named by one of the grandsons:

The way I look at it is there are a million or more potential customers in Phoenix that I can sell to. I think that if a person is on here and wanted to sell any chickens or eggs, and they sold someone a sick bird, there would be some bad reviews and they would soon stop selling for lack of customers. Google is everywhere! NPIP is a good program for large and professional hatcheries, but for people with just a few birds I think it is an awful lot of testing and paperwork. Here is the Arizona page about the program: https://agriculture.az.gov/animals/...ice/national-poultry-improvement-plan-arizona

Thank you! That is a reasonable point of view and may work for me as well!

They grow up so fast, don't they?

I'm looking for some more of the buff colored NN that have the yellow leg's and the black in the tail. I am planning on crossing them with the Aloha's that also have the yellow leg'

I don’t have a copy of the APA. Is the breed standard for the Turken black-tailed buff with white skin? If so, then you are on the right track by crossbreeding to add in yellow legs to your stock.

Even if they have white leg's, it can be corrected to the yellow later in the breeding's.

His daddy was a NN, and his mother was a Red Ranger/Silver Grey Dorking mix. That's where he got his yellow leg's from, but he didn't get the 5 toes. He has the normal 4 toes.

I bred this 2020 pullet. She is larger than a standard Australorp hen and lays a large green egg.
(crele EE with yellow skin x Black Australorp with pink skin x Naked Neck.)

Now all you need is a cockerel from what I am incubating right now to breed to her for some different feather coloring. I have some of Baby Girl's egg's in there. She's blue with a smaller bowtie.

@JCaseyHammond That was Baby girl standing next to Louie in the second picture there.
