Turken Naken Necks (EW!)

[Sapphire Sebright]

That's the same with any chicken. But chickens don't tend to stand out in the rain and let themselves get soaked.

You have not met my chickens.

Its just weird.

I personally don't mind Naked Necks- the only thing that bothers me is that the cut off of the feathers on their heads looks weird. I prefer Showgirls because they have poofs instead of feathers there.

Yeah, the poofs do make it look better.

All of the Turken Naked Necks I've seen are ugly! Who else thinks this way? Why were they bred with no feathers on their necks? I think I heard because their easier to pluck that way... But just WHY? They are so ugly. If you care to object, please do so, but I feel like a lot of people will agree with me on this one. Even Showgirl chickens don't look good, contrary to their name.

I've been waiting for this thread to appear!

Aw, I think they're charming in their own unique way. Especially as babies

The babies are adorable. They are supposed to have a very friendly personality too.

I'd love a few but they aren't available in my country.

My girls and my boys are some of the friendlier birds I have. And believe it or not, they're still rather cold tolerant. We had a freeze that killed three perfectly healthy birds and caused many of my Pheonix hens combs (tiny combs, not large male combs) to fall off, and the only one that had problems was my males comb and toes. Other than that, they were more than content
