Question What breed has no breast or body feathers?

[panner123]

Earlier this year my grand daughter let out all the chickens toghether. Well I now have this one little black chick that is fizzled, but with no feathers on its breast or body. I have no black roo, but I do have one naked neck hen. Could this be a cross between a red frizzle roo and the naked neck hen. I have seen many chickens in the past 50+ years, just never one like this. Does anyone have any ideas?

I don't know about the chick, but I think the naked kneck hen would be a turken.

Have any pics?

It sounds like a "double frizzle" to me. A chicken that has two frizzle genes, one from each parent, has feathers that break off in patches on it's body.

Any chance that is what it is?

Naked Neck is the correct term.

Oops. I've just seen turkens at the fair and such, and they look so UGLY, they're hard to forget. That's what I think of when I imagine a chicken with a naked neck.

Green you said it right. It is a Frizzle with a double frizzle gene. I have 2 from McMurray, hoping for the best. Ones looking like a cockrel so hell go into the pot. Not sure bout the other one yet thou.

Becareful they sunburn really easy.
