Blackchop is quite lovely. I think it's time you stopped feeding her hormones.

ALSO ARE THEY A MIX LOOKING ALL OF THEM THEY DONT LOOK PUREBREED. ARE THEY GOOD LAYERS. HOW BIG TO THEY GET? IF YOU GET A ROOSTER WOULD YOU GET SOME NECKED OR WOULD ALL OF THEM IF THEY BREED WITH A NONE NN? WHAT DO ALL OF YOU THINK OF YOUR NN??

Turkens can't take the cold well, Not only because they Lack protection on the neck area, but because they have less body feathers also... is not a good idea

This is the blurb copied from the ASOP for Naked Necks:

NAKED NECKS
The history of the Naked Neck fowl runs into a distant and obscure past. They are supposed to have originated in Eastern Hungary but reached their highest state of perfection in Germany. They were also bred in other immediately adjoining countries.

The desire for a smooth-skinned, dressed fowl commended them to favor. Their several bare areas made plucking much more easily and quickly done. Naked Necks have less than half the feathers posessed by other fowl of their approximate size and dress very smoothly with no feather follicles or sockets on the bare areas.

Thet are good layers of brown eggs and stand cold weather well. In crossing, the naked neck imposes itself on the first product. Strict observance of prescribed color with true character therefore must be maintained.​

I disagree. I live here in Montana and my Naked Necks have done well. I have a heat lamp in there with them the whole winter. The cold really doesnt bother them that much
