Naked Neck/Turken Thread

[Knock Kneed Hen]

She's a beauty too Nava!! I submitted a pic of Lil' Kev a long time ago...I really didn't ever expect to see a NN up there, but really, these hens of yours are spectacular.

banjoejoe4783, how does that boy keep his head up with all that comb and wattle??? He's amazing!!

I never get tired of seeing pics of these guys. OK people, how about some pics of YOU with your NN's?

I snapped some pics the other day. Getting them loaded to PB takes me forever, so I haven't finished.

Aww, the poor thing must look and feel miserable. I've never had to deal with fowl pox but I hear it's been going around.
I see you're a newbie.

I have a Showgirl too. I think they're beautiful!

So I finally caught one of my chickens eating the feathers from the face of my EE's (that look like NN's now BTW) . . . do you wanna guess who the culprit is?


You got it, my NN bantam hen!!! My birds were losing feathers on their face and neck. I noticed that they started to grow
back and figured it was the extra protein I was offering them. Now I realize it was because the NN hen was broody and spending
all her time in the nest box. Now that she's out she's back at it. What can I do to break her of this bad habit? Help!!

KKH, sorry to say, the only cure I know of is freezer camp.
