Nava. . . . You're the hero when I'm not around. You're awesome.

I say get Turkens, (who dares say they're ugly??) but if you have room - Get an EE too. There's a chance you'll get some green eggs.

Get EE's!!! you will only get around 5-6 colored eggs a week with one. and a hen only lays one color its whole life. Better get 2 so maybe you will have 2 different shades of green or blue/day. I have 6 and LOVE the carton full of different shades!


3+ days worth of eggs from 6 EE's!

Naked necks...

EE-colorful friendly birds that lay colored eggs!!

ETA: its the skin... the texture reminds me of a hairless rat... (Shivers)

For me, it is their absolute sweetheart and "pet-like" personality. My last Turken was the sweetest, most personable chicken I ever had! . . . I miss her.

My Turkens were the only breed of chicken I ever let in the house!

My latest girl used to walk around the kitchen, and before that I'd always have to "Turken-proof" the floor, as I swear Turkens eat waay more than other breeds - She will peck the tiniest speck of dust for a taste.

My previous one before her I'd even have in my arms while posting topics and replies. . . Sadly the last time I held her, I was posting an emergency thread about a crop impaction. Hers. About an hour later, she died. In my arms. Worst. Night. Ever.

Aaanyway - I believe people should only judge a breed if they actually have experience with it. I had/have both Turkens and EEs, and my Turkens were spunky sweethearts from chickhood. The EE's were either average or really skittish and flighty, and didn't calm until 7-9 months of age. I do love my EE hen, but my Naked Necks had a special place in my heart.

Nava: I was wondering why I stopped seeing photos/stories of him. So sorry to hear your loss!
