Negative 12 this morning and everyone was fine! No turtlenecks needed. They're hardier than most of my other regularly feathered birds

AMAZING OUTSTANDING

Yeah, I have been quite surprised by them. You hear/read that some breeds aren't winter hardy, and others are. I have to say that my white leghorns are some of the most hardcore chickens I have. Up first, sometimes before it is even dawn, and are laying eggs. They are the first to run outside (when it's still dark) no matter the temperature (and we've had lows to -20 not including the windchill). Next up is my banty, who is the only chicken that will wade through deep snow (go figure). Then the NNs. As far as who HASN'T been winter hardy, my buff orphingtons and brahma are wimps!!

Oh and I just got an updated brahma NN picture:

Hi! I do, most of my Naked Necks are green-eggers (some shade of blue / green / teal / aqua) and frizzled as well.

Nava! A poodle-goose!

Hi! Lots of pics been posted of the blue/splash NNFGE (just go back in this thread).
One pen has these hens with this roo. Another pen has blue/splash Frizzle NN green-egger girls with a blue NN green-egger roo.

Why aren't we supposed to call them Turkens and who's checking? I call mine NN's, Turkens, Nurkens, Sweeties, Little'uns, . . .

BTW, the best place to kiss a Turken? At the base of it's neck.

Love my little beasties
