Naked necks, anyone got some?

Hi!
This blue girl lays blue-green eggs too!
She's (Naked Neck x Silkie) X Ameraucana.

I have frizzled dark-skinned Naked Neck green-eggers in the works.
This splash frizz NN cockerel is almost breeding age now.

And this blue NN chick has grown into a stunning girl.

Hi! I don't separate my NN from other birds / roos.
The only problem I've had was with a Pekin drake that found the NN Silkie girls fascinating and he roughed up several of their necks before I figured out what was going on (the drake was also trying to mate feather-neck hens, but it wasn't as bad on them as he was pulling feathers and not pinching skin).
Do your NN's gashes look like from mating behaviour or something else?

They appear to be from mating behavior. We have quite the randy Buff Orpington cockerel who apparently can't control himself around black pullets. He has ripped up the two Turkens and tries to take down and mount the Black Stars, too. He grabs them aggressively by the neck, and it is too much for the Turkens. I'm thinking of eating him, but the BO hens really love him, and so does my little EE hen. They follow him everywhere.
