This guy is from last year and not as wide as some of the other males from the cross.

Lisa,
my three NN are getting so cute. I have one cockerel and two pullets. One of the pullets is smooth feather. If I wanted to make more NN what do I do? Can I breed these together? What if I wanted to make a frizzle without the naked neck, is that possible? I tried to find your info pages but can't seem to find them after the big change.

Hi Christie! It depends on a couple of things --- mostly whether thay are NaNa (small / no bowtie) or Nana (big bowtie) .
If you want more Naked Necks, you can get them by either breeding the NakedNeck with another NakedNeck or by breeding the NakedNeck with a featherneck (whatever breed).
If you breed the frizzle Naked Neck to a *smooth feather neck (whatever breed), you should get a % of chicks that are frizzled and feather neck.

I got the message with the vid the other day, but couldn't get it to open. I meant to ask you to send pics but forgot, sorrry.

I'll look for that chart Kevin posted before with %'s and what to expect (so I don't tell you wrong).

"Formally", pure naked neck would be genotype (NaNa), not pure would be (Nana+) and feather neck (na+na+). The + is just a notation to indicate wild type(Henk's calculator uses it for example). Not naked neck is the wild type version for this gene.

For example to apply it to my own example above:

NaNa x na+na+= 100% Nana+
Nana+ x na+na+= 50% Nana+ 50% na+na+
Nana+ x Nana+= 25% NaNa 50% Nana+ 25% na+na+ (this one is how two naked necked parents can throw feather neck chicks)
NaNa x NaNa= 100% NaNa

Found it!
Pure for the Naked Neck gene (NaNa) will have small or no bowtie. Not pure (Nana+) will have large bowtie.

Thank you Lisa!
Let me see if I can imbed my short video with our new BYC format.

So the naked necks I got from you would all me Nana+ correct?
Now how about the frizzle gene? How does that work? lol... I have so many questions.
My favorite of the birds I got from you is the blue naked neck frizzle with black skin. She is just the cutest thing ever but very shy.
