Naked Necks

[teresarose1966]

These are an odd bird. Took awhile for me to warm to them, I think they need scarves! Lol. Does anyone know how they fair in colder climates, some here in Nova Scotia say they'll do great..not sure from what I've been reading.

According to Henderson's Breed Chart they are a cold hardy bird. If your neighbors have them they just might know what they are talking about.

My naked necks are some of my best wintering birds. I live in central alberta, we can get pretty cold.
I will be heating my coop this winter but last winter I did not add as much heat as I have in the past and they continued to lay all winter, had a quick molt this spring and have been laying an egg a day all summer.
