Hi! Here's the oldest NN chick from my black NN green-egger hen x blue barred Rock:

I think the one lower left, is from same cross --- inherited barring but not NN.

This one inherited barring and Naked Neck --- hopefully blue-egg gene also.

She's right. Want to add that the cross with barred rock pullets will give you sex linked chicks, so only the boys would get barring gene. Cockerels born with a white head spot(that's from the barring gene) and pullets being black without the white spot on head.

As adults only the cockerels will have barring.. mostly black and white with some color on the hackles/saddle/wing bow. Breed them with black breasted red hens to get true creles(will be in both sexes from this cross).

Could also use the barred cockerels to breed with your other colored turkens like those production red cross pullets? You'd get some barred buffs(sometimes called lemon cuckoo) and reds. I used to have a barred red(deep red like on a RIR) rooster, he was stunning.

Happened to see a turken chick at feed store that appears to be solid buff, brought her home.. if it turns out to be solid buff, no black, will breed her with cuckoo rooster, hope for lemon cuckoos maybe.

Thanks! Here's the oldest barred NN again with a younger blue NN and a younger barred NN:

They are hard to photograph because I let that whole bunch ramble and they only come up to eat and go to coop.

Hey did you get any blue barreds?

 

[Dipsy Doodle Doo]

Hi Kev! Got several blue barred NN's. I don't think I caught any pics of them that go-round.

Kev, thanks for the added information! Now I'm really excited to get this little project going... I also was thinking of trying for a longtail NN too. I have two bantam phoenix cockerels (no girls hatched ) and was thinking of giving them some of the mix pullets. Both cockerels are silver duckwings so if I use the bbr girls will the chicks be sex-linked as well?
