I love my Naked Neck crosses. Other people think they are ugly but that just makes me love them even more !! We have 8 girls and one boy. The other 3 boys were delicious and soo big. About 5 kgs each. I want to be able to breed them myself and am a complete beginner as of last summer so am learning, but I think they are very healthy, curious, intelligent and so much fun. They have survived a 45 celsius plus summer and a minus 12 celsius winter without too much bother. When I read up on the Naked Neck breed most said that I shouldn't expect more than 150 eggs per bird per year from them. The breeder I bought them from boasted 250 plus per bird per year. I am feeding mine fermented feed which might be making the difference, but they are laying 300 plus per bird per year. Fantastic... we have too many eggs ! The meat is tasty and there is alot of it AND these birds are double breasted. All around a great dual purpose meat and egg bird.
