Turken breeding

[AidanOshields]

Hi my name is Aidan and I’ve recently got into breeding turkens (naked necks) and I was wondering if y’all could suggest other breeds to mix them with to get really pretty combinations.as of I have one lavender orpington in with the others so we’ll see what happens with that.

I was also wondering if someone knows the naked neck genetic

What do you meam, knows the naked neck gemetics. Naked necks are dominant in my experience, so often crossing one with a different breed will through either all nakeds or about half depening on if that naked neck had one or two naked parents

I don't have any Turkens, but I'd love to get some someday! Beautiful flock!

Want to throw in some Ameruacanas or even some EEs? They might give you some muffs and green eggs. Also, a Top Hat breed like Polish or even a feathered legged breed like Brahma. Those would all throw in some interesting characteristics.

Try Brahma, that would be a fun cross.

I did some standard cochin x naked neck and they were some of the fastest growing and biggest heritage breed type chickens I ever raised. And they were extremely snazzy looking.

Now that would be fun to see! A naked-neck chicken with a big poof!

My only Naked Neck is a NN/Cochin cross. She is a big girl but she is beautiful! My absolute favorite thing is the way her head feathers stand up, like hackles on a feathered neck bird. Her feathering is beautiful. She is heavily feathered but it's not tight and laying down flat. It's like her feathers have some "body" to them.

I should add that my pullet is already broody at only 6 months old, so even though boodiness varies, it's certainly something that I wasn't expecting. She was a wonderful layer before going broody though. She lays a medium brown egg.
