Joe for years in Israel they have been trying to breed birds like that. To my knowledge there has only been one bred before yours. The gene that caused this is supposed to be a fatal gene, kills the chick in the egg.
Palamino horses can carry a fatal white gene from what the old-timers tell me. The rumpless gene is also a fatal gene as is the frizzle gene, again according to old-timers.

yes there is a fatal geen that is asotieated with the scaleless geen (that is why naked necks are nacked ) exsepet that in its case the scalless geen is doble domanet i know where there are abuot 5 other naked chickens and they are behind louk and key

Thank goodness you didn't ask me about Joe's bird! LOL
Ok the one without the bow tie has a double NN gene which is written NANA. And the bow tie birds just have a single NN gene which is written NAna. A feather necked bird's genes are written nana for no dominate genes.
A dominant gene is written with capitol letters and a recessive gene has small case letters.
