Naked Necks are believed to be originally from some of the game birds in Indonesia and other southeast countries, like the Dong Tao, bred because they really like chicken skin over there.....Well, I don’t exactly know what caused this breed. Yes, they stay naked. I think they were originally a Turkish breed.
They were brought to Europe where they became the Transylania Naked Neck because they became popular in Romania.
I've been crossing mine with Bresse, Jersey Giants, and some others to improve dual purpose/meat qualities as they've been bred as ornamentals long enough that they've been getting kinda boney.
And a newer cockerel that hatched from a blue egg. I'm hoping to make some NN/EE's with him.
