I think wayyy wayyyy back chickens were crossed with turkeys and they had the naked neck from the turkeys... i am not sure though,haha. ;)

CHICKENS AND TURKEYS CAN NOT BREED ANYMORE THAN A CHICKEN AND MONKEY CAN CROSS BREED. Even scientists would have trouble making clones or using artificial insemination to create a creature from different species.

Naked Necks developed from east asian breeds of chickens which are still alive and well in the east. They were developed as a dual purpose ahd hardy breed with 1/3 less feathers for easy cleaning. We have a wonderful thread just for NNs and love to creat different mixes. The NN is a dominate trait, If the bird has less to no feathers on their neck it has the NN gene. There is so much to learn about breed and rasing chickens. I started out many years ago and keep reading and learning new information all the time. fun fun fun

She is beautiful - even more so in person :drool

There has been actual products of turkeys and chickens.

Though it's not easy. And they are most definitely sterile :p
TURKEY-CHICKEN HYBRIDS

There have been attempted crosses between domestic turkeys (Meleagris gallapavo) and chickens (Warren and Scott, 1935). According to Gray (1958) in 12 studies no hybrids hatched. Other reports found only a few fertile eggs were produced and very few resulted in advance embryos (Ogorodii, 1935; Quinn et al. 1937; Asmundson & Lorenz, 1957). According to Olsen (1960), 23 hybrids were obtained from 302 embryos which resulted from 2132 eggs. Dark Cornish cockerels and Rhode Island Red cockerels successfully fertilised turkey eggs. Harada & Buss (1981) reported hybridisation experiments between Beltsville Small White Turkeys and two strains of chickens. When male chickens inseminated female turkeys, both male and female embryos form, but the males are much less viable and usually die in the early stages of development. When male turkeys inseminated female chickens, no hybrids resulted although the unfertilised chicken eggs began to divide. According to Olson (1960) turkey-chicken crosses produced all males.

MW Olsen, US Dept of Agriculture, successfully bred turkey x chicken hybrids from Beltsville Small White turkey hens artificially inseminated with semen from Dark Cornish male chickens. Morphological evidence of the hybrid status of the birds (Olsen, M. W., J. Heredity, 51, 69 (1960)) included the fact that the adult hybrids' dark plumage resembled that of the chicken, being dominant over the recessive white colour of the turkeys. Serological studies on their red cells also provided evidence of the birds being hybrids.

It appears that turkey sperm cannot fertilise chicken eggs, but can trigger cell division in unfertilised eggs. Reports of natural hybrids between female chickens (including bantams) and male domestic or wild turkeys are anecdotal and not supported by DNA studies. Where unusual chicks have occurred, it is most likely to be due to recessive genes in the parents (or possibly to hybridising with guinea fowl or wild pheasants).
