I know I've see some post on the thread that they had Naked Necks. Was thinking it was Cliff and Flower. If so can either of you help me please? I posted a day or so ago asking about NNs. Mine has injured her neck and it got me thinking, will this happen to her every time she is visited by a rooster?

We've had a few bad days losing chicks, NN getting injured and the storms have been pretty rough. Today is forecast for mostly sun so I hope it turns out to be a better day.
I hope everyone has a beautiful day today!

Bantam EE is a good guess on the pullet.. But with the lightly feathered legs I'd think Marans in there.. So maybe olive egger? My D'Uccles have (or will have) heavily feathered legs and a much different shape neck. And a regular EE wouldn't have feathered legs at all. At least I don't think..

My NNs don't have trouble mating. I've never had any injured on the neck. Maybe it got it's neck scratched while looking for something or maybe you have a young roo who doesn't know how to do his thing yet. I had a young roo who would try to get the hen standing in front of her and grabbing her head from the front. The hens would twist away from him often losing head feathers. He has finally learned. But, you shouldn't have to worry about their necks. And just so you know, there is a Naked Neck Thread. The guy to listen to is named Kev. He really knows genetics if you have any questions. Kassaundra is also a good one. She has had NNs for years!
 
Thank you. I hope it pulls through. This has been a bad hatch. I've already lost four chicks and I have two eggs still in the incubator that may not hatch. How old is your pullet? Is she laying yet? 

She's not quite four months, no one is laying just yet, but everyone is about to get transferred to layer pellets and adding oyster shell. Hopefully soon!

Oh no! So sorry to hear. :( I hope the rest of your babies do incredible to make up for the losses!
