Naked Neck/Turken Thread

[Chickens in the Grove]

How many eggs a week do NN usually lay? Everything I've heard says something different

Does it vary widely on breeder or is there a standard 1-2 or 4-5 a week they usually lay?

I have 5 NN pullets that started laying in March at 6 months. The eggs are now normally large, but a smaller one still shows up. I get 4 eggs daily from them.
They share a coop with an equal number of Delawares and they are more food efficient for the egg output. I swear the Delawares would eat the coop if they could. It will be interesting to see how the cross breeding works out once I get my incubator.

I get 9 or 10 eggs everyday from 10 hens..these are large or jumbo with lots of double yokes, if I didn't have so much invested in the other breeds I would get rid of them.

All the pretty chick pics make me jealous.

I can't wait to start getting some chicks from these guys. They are 19 weeks old now.

I'm really enjoying reading this thread and looking at the incredible pictures that have been posted. I don't know if this is the place to ask, but here goes. I have two seven week old Turkens who turn bright red at times. It is like their cheeks/necks are flushed. Is this normal and, if so, why does it happen?

 

[pgpoultry]

Wait until they get a bit older, the whole of the neck will flush a blood red ,same colour as the wattles and comb, and completely normal for NNs.

Thanks for your reply! I will look forward to watching them flush as they get older now that I know that nothing is wrong.
