Pic of a chick born truly naked necked(no bowtie at all). Sorry for the fuzziness(haha!), was taken with phone camera:

This one turned out to be a cuckoo girl.

Okay she is just GORGEOUS!! Is she a blue splash/mottled? Because she is killing me!!! I want a Turken sooo bad, and she's just what I would want. .. That color, aaah!!! Too bad, still don't know anyone with cold hardy Turkens.

If you like her that much, try jimhappycowboy, he's a member on here.. He's from a very cold winter area IIRC.. he also has only blue and splash(that is what she is) turkens, so your chances of getting some like her would be pretty high. He sells and ships eggs almost all the time. Quite nice guy too. PM him for details?

Is she a splash? She looks more like she's a mottled blue. In fact . . . isn't that a mottled bird in the background? So it seems likely that's what she is. I don't think I've ever seen just a splash that looked remotely like that.

Mottle is white tips to a feather(yes the hen in background is a mottle). Splash has a very wide range of appearances from pale whitish/gray with tiny flecks on feathers all the way to this with individual feathers more or less solidly colored. Notice none of the feathers show a white tip on them.

Turns out I got his profile name wrong, it is "jmhappycowboy". Here is a picture of splashes from his blue turkens:

Yeah, I PM'd him a while ago, but I think his state just kinda makes me think otherwise. He has the most beautiful blues I've ever seen, but I'm still not sure yet. Perhaps when my current eggs and future eggs start to grow and I see where my chicken population goes, I'll consider them.

I'd reeeaaally hate to lose yet more Turkens.

Okay , I just have to say that when I told my Grandma that I got NN's...She sent ten "chicken neck warmers" so that they didn't get cold. She knitted them her self.
