Naked Neck/Turken Thread

[smithhouse]

So cute! Our Lizzie is the sweetest of our 5 girls. We have an Australorp, 3 Dominiques, and Lizzie the nn Australorpe. So they are all rather nice birds, but there is something special about her. She is also the most curious and has been ever since a wee chick. The Doms can be quite vocal in the morning. Just kicking it up with their own special squak that I find obnoxious. Of course they are 15 feet from the back door (we have a tiny back yard in a neighborhood). But still! I sometimes think that if someone wanted to take them next spring and give them a lovely country home, I wouldn't mind! I would then be able to get more NN!! ; )

Can you introduce a couple of Turkens into an established flock? I have 18 hens of various breeds, 1 roo and would love a couple of Turkens.

Absolutely no problem.
I introduced 3 Turkens to my Brahma, mutt bunch and they integrated just fine (Last night the cockerel was tucked under my big boy Brahmas wing for warmth!)
