That makes sense. Pure-bred ones can be hard to find, but otherwise you might end up with a bird you just don't know what to do with.As I've said, I'm in the planning phase right now. I'm still trying to decide where the best location and what type of coop to create for them. I've just recently started researching breeds and wanted to start with pure breed naked necks so I know exactly what's mixed in my flock once I start mixing genes.
