Hi, I am fairly new to keeping chickens and chickens for meat. I live in France and here the naked necks are popular for meat. I tried them and found them to be really nice. I also have some Sussex to breed with but haven't tried them yet. Now I don't know if anyone can help but I'm not very good with the whole genetics thing. I was wondering if I crossed my Sussex roo with a naked neck hen would I get a decent bird for the table. I was also wondering if it would grow a bit quicker than the Sussex. The naked necks are normally ready at about 14 weeks. But like I said I don't know what traits the parents would pass on and whether it would be pot of luck? Any advice is more than welcome. Thanks
