That very naked look is because she has two genes for it. It appears in a similar way people get blue/black/splash. NN is very naked, Nn is half naked lolOmg. I love her. The very naked look is my favorite
The girls that I've gotten from ideal poultry have been naked- er than my other acquisition.
That's good to know. The birds that I've gotten from ideal poultry have been more naked, and carry themselves a little more forward than the ones I got from Tractor supply. I definitely like the stance and look of the Ideal birds best. They all have great personalities, though, and are good layers.That very naked look is because she has two genes for it.

Sounds like Ideal has been working on it lol. Iām letting my girls decide whether we add to the flock or not, but Iām only keeping naked necks from whatever they hatch. Hoping to breed more naked into my grouoThat's good to know.

I love that idea. Silkies are cute..in other people's yards.Nn is my personal preference, with the little bow tie, so I'm glad Gwenyth happened to be Nn since she was the only one I had hatch.
Don't tell the Cochin people, but I'm tempted to cross her into my silkied Cochin bantams and start a project toward making a silkied naked neck that doesn't have all the additional traits from Silkies like crests, beards, dark skin, etc. I definitely don't need to spread my focus further on another project, but... the temptation is real. I definitely need to at least hatch something from her next year because I want more of these little weirdos running around here.
The crest on silkies and polish bother me. They are so cute, but I feel like it's cruel to intentionally chickens that can't see! On the other hand, if someone gave me a showgirl or a stripper rooster, I'm sure I'd be in love!I completely agree! I have a few Silkies who I'm attached to as individuals, but I don't care for the breed and don't plan to get any more of them. Just too many traits I don't care much for, especially their big crests.
But I love silkied feathering on other breeds
