Turkens.....Naked Neck Chickens

[Snow Flamingo]

Hello, anyone on here have any experience with Naked Neck Chickens. I'm interested in egg production and personality. Not meat please.
Thank you!

I did a quick search and came up with this from the breed review section:
naked-neck-turken.10861 (click on the link to read).

And Cackle Hatchery has this to say about them:

• Weights: Hen -------6 1/2 lbs Rooster----8 1/2 lb
  Pullet-------5 1/2 lbs Cockerel---7 1/2 lbs
• Purpose: Ornamental and Dual Purpose, Egg Laying and Meat
• Egg Shell Color: Light Brown
• Egg Production: 180-240 eggs per year. (estimates only, see FAQ)
• Mating Ratio: 10 Females to 1 Male
• Roost Height: 2 to 4 feet
• Country of Origin: Eastern Hungary

Hope that helps answer some of your questions about them.

Hello there and welcome to BYC!

I have never kept them, but they do seem interesting. Click on the link NFC has left for you, it should get you started.

Great to have you aboard and welcome to the group!

Thank you all! The more I find out about this breed, the more I like it. Buff Orpingtons are my very favorite, but when I start my flock, I think a few of the TNN's will be added to the flock. I've held a 4 month old hen recently and she was just as calm and sweet as pie.
Thank you all for the great tips! Happy Peeping!
