Turkens...?

Pretty bird! Forgive my ignorance, do the NN get injured more without the feathers and the social pecking? The leghorn girls are on top and peck a bit. No blood on the feathered necks, but they are pecked.

Where did you get your birds from? Ideal Hatchery is closest and does offer NN.

Thank you for the compliment. We have had turkens for years. We have hatched from a few breeders over the years. There were a few people on here many years ago that raised turkens that I bought eggs from. Over half of our turkens carry 2 copies of the NN gene so they are fully naked neck. We do sell hatching eggs if your interested and we are NPIP. To answer your question we do not have injuries very often. Once in awhile one might get a peck wound, but not very often.
