what exactly is a Naked Neck?

[cream puff]

I have 6 naked necks, but I don't understand the breed at all. Is there anyone out there who can share their knowledge of this breed?

Thanks!

In my understanding, they were bred so that cooks wouldn't have to pluck out the nasty, hard-to-get neck feathers.

They are a breed of chicken without feathers on their necks. They do very well in hot climates. They are a dual purpose breed, that gets large enough to make a decent meal out of, and lay very well.
