Yep, turkens are good chickens ... especially if they're frizzles! My favorites.

no been my email, username, handle since i was 14,

wouldnt mind gettin frizzles in the bunch, currently i have a cukoo rooster, even has feathers on his legs and then red and black hens with one cukoo hen but she has a large bowtie, and one black and one white rooster, and one white cochin turken hen, trying to get barred/cukoo with feathered legs, crrently my uncle has pretty good barred turkens was up to about 10, but all he raises are turkens, for meat production, but he also has better luck than i, down there in Bethel

Sounds to me like you might need to branch out into Showgirls. Have you seen them? They're a cross between turkens and silkies and at least 12 generations down. They're quite nice birds. I've got one cukoo silkie that I'm hoping to get cukoo showgirls from at some point.

B52fizzle! I can see by the first post you put on this thread that you've either been lurking for a while or are just a helpful person. Your mix of birds is very interesting. I think you'll find a couple of others here who are Turken fans - although that may set you up to be teased if you post photos....some of us pretend to be alarmed whenever we see a turken! Chickens are good. I'm glad you're here! And by the way, we chit-chat a lot and sometimes don't really say much, so jump in and hang on if you like!

hopefully helpful, i have heard about this forum for quite some time and alot of people have told me about poops but i missed the last one, i have been on here a time or two to check it out, just haven't had time to get in on the chit chat, between working and caring for ALL my animals, and i just adore my little "Vultures" as some like to call them. i think i like them most because most people dont have them, and the fact that they serve a good purpose as having few feathers and easier to clean, yet still maintain in colder weathers

nnbreeder will be along in awhile to totally agree with you regarding the positive traits and hardiness of turkens or naked neck chickens.

smsmf may have some naked neck roosters that you might be interested in, since the roosters didn't make it to the Blanchard auction last Saturday.

i have seen these, and they are quite nice, have a few silkies but it was late in the summer when i got them, and have only gotten a few eggs(that were not fertile), but also they roost on the ground or about a foot above it, is that normal? trying the showgirl thing myself but wanting standard size chicken with the blue flesh.

Yes, that is normal for them. My Showgirls usually roost about a foot above ground, and only a few of the Silkies roost there. They can't fly, but the Showgirls can flutter a little farther up than the regular Silkies. I have Showgirls in several colors.
