Turkens.. a little more info on them?

[The Red Rooster]

If all works out, I might have a Turken today. I would like to know more about them. Are they friendly at all?

Thank you!

No, they are 100% chicken. (I wondered that too, when I first saw them.)

No. But they are a great chicken. Gentle, lay huge brown eggs. Heat and cold tolerant.

Nope, they're just naked necked 100% chickens.

They're an actual purebred breed, however probably more than 70% of all Naked Neck / Turkens out there are actually mutts, since the gene for naked neck is dominant and easily passed onto mutt offspring.
