"Formally", 'pure' naked neck would be genotype (NaNa), 'not pure' would be (Nana+) and 'feather neck' (na+na+). The + is just a notation to indicate wild type (Henk's calculator uses it for example). Not naked neck is the wild type version for this gene.
NaNa x na+na+= 100% Nana+
Nana+ x na+na+= 50% Nana+, 50% na+na+
Nana+ x Nana+= 25% NaNa, 50% Nana+, 25% na+na+ (this one is how two naked necked parents can throw feather neck chicks)
NaNa x NaNa= 100% NaNa
NaNa x Nana+ = 50% NaNa, 50% Nana
'Pure' can be small or no bow tie, 'not pure' is big bow tie, and 'feather neck' has no naked neck.
All you need are white Silkie girls to make more white Naked Neck Silkies.
The percent of Naked Neck Silkie chicks you will get depends on whether your Naked Neck guy is 'NaNa' (no bowtie or small bowtie) or 'Nana+' (big bowtie).
Now, you've got to show him off here!
Good luck!
