By the way I've heard tell that Turkens are some of the best tasting birds. The only thing is they take a month or longer to be ready for butchering.

Ok my dumb question, hubby and I were discussing this earlier today... Is a turken a chicken/turkey cross or just another chicken breed? I honestly didn't know. Yes, I can look it up, but I'd just as soon look stupid right now lol

No they are not a cross. They are a true chicken breed, but they got the nickname "Turken" because someone somewhere down the line did mistake them as a cross between a chicken and a turkey.

My dom roo is a turken and I have a hen that's a turken/ee (Araucana ee). I'm hoping to get lots of little nns from this hatch and hopefully some nn/silkies to start my showgirl project, or a cleaner necked nn roo so that I can start next spring.

Did you find it took longer to raise them to be ready for processing?

Cool, thanks. We are still trying to figure out what to do with our turkey hen. Get a mate or sell her or give her to my SIL. Hubby asked if the roosters would try mating with her, and I remembered turkens, but wasn't sure what they really were lol.
