So here are some updated pics. The black one now has brown partridgey markings, and the white one is looking splash or paint, not sure yet.

And a few of H and Midnight with their Wyandotte and Polish siblings. Can anyone guess why H is called H?

And this is H about 8 hours old having dried and fluffed out, being held by my little boy.

This is H being helped to hatch. The inner membrane was stuck to the back of his bald head. I wonder if this is common with Naked Neck chicks? Being as there are no feathers there.

yes!

Naked Neck Spam incoming! 7 days old today and still so tiny!

Hi, we have a hatch! Only 2 Transylvanian eggs made it to the end. Plus 1 Wyandotte. So I went and bought some baby chicks to go with them: Polish, Lavender Barred Araucana, and gold Partridge Wyandotte. 10 babies in total. The earlier 2 that hatched under another hen (English Cuckoo Marans...

Bit of an update on the eggs. Disappointingly I think a lot of them were not fertile. Only 3 seem to have development and 1 of those has quit. So I only have 2 eggs out of 11 that might hatch. And 1 Wyandotte with them (out of 6). The 2 Transylvanians that are developing look good. Nice...

Quick update. Only 2 of the sibling group hatched. An English Cuckoo Maran and a Lavender Araucana. Shame it wasn't more, but hey ho. They will be 3 weeks old when the Transylvanians hatch, and the mama hen is unproven so I don't know how long she will care for the chicks until she weans them...

Today the sibling group has pipped. I honestly thought I would have a hatch earlier than day 21 given how hot it has been here, and bantams usually hatch a little early. But no, they have been watching the clock and decided to be textbook 21 day chicks! I should have babies by tomorrow (maybe...

Ha! I think Pterosaurs is quite apt. Or Velociraptors. This applies to all chickens!

Hello happy chickeny folks from around the world! I have started this thread to chronicle the journey of some Naked Neck chickens I am going to hatch. I have never had this breed before, so this is a bit of an experiment. I've raised probably 20 or so other breeds before and have been a keen...
