I used to have turkens and naked necks. The turkens were all mixed, some had cushion combs, I had some sexlink colored ones. For the naked necks I had red and white bantams, they were weak an didnt last long.
One thing I thought was funny was when I was judging a 4-H show last year and there was a 'trio' of red naked necks. it turned out to be 3 hens and all 3 had different leg color. One had blue, one had green, and one had white, none had yellow like the standard calls for.
I love seeing those mixed turken flocks, they produce so many cool colors like columbian.
And just so no one gets grumpy, I call mixed birds with a bare neck turkens and showable birds naked necks, it makes more sence to me to do it that way and eliminates some of the confusion.

Do they have frizzle looking turkens or is that a mix? Regardless, super cute!!!! You have so many, I need more!!
That one turken is a frizzle. I bought these as chicks at an auction, and had NO idea exactly what was in the box, AND couldn't really understand what the auctioneer was saying. Not the smartest thing, I could've went home with a lion for all I knew (well, not really). I was thrilled to find out what I won when I was able to get a good look... They are very interesting birds!!! I'm sooo glad I bought these! And they are all healthy animals. I wish I knew who I bought them from, I would probably buy more.
Dumb question scbatz, but did you happen to sell some turkens at the Green Dragon a few weeks ago?
