Congrats on barred and blue cockerels. Look like they are going to be tall roosters.

This is the family of naked neck bantams I have been working on for several years now. They are the size of a serama, rumpless (no tail), Type A-B, some with muffs, vigorous and alert. I enjoy them a lot. What do you think?

 

[maralpz2006]

they are very cute

Yes very cute!

Sort of remind me of the bantams I made many years ago by crossing with bantam Araucanas. Could actually see the skin flap the tufts come off on those..

Also crossed some of those to modern games and then crossed offspring to each other.. got NN rumpless birds with very long legs, the wheaten hens looked a lot like Rheas. Thought they were awesome..

They are little,

what color eggs do they lay ?
do they breed true ?

I have some small N-neck bantams some are about the size of small pigeons, some regular size bantams.
I have had some that were as small as seramas moslty B Classes & some larger A sizes . But nothing like a micro mini A or anything, thought that would be interesting , to have a Pocket Size Turken

All I know Is My Turken Minies lay eggs every day 365 days a yr.
