I'm new to all of this ie chickens, raising chicks, breeding, etc. I managed to get 4 chicks in my first year. Not a great outcome from 4 broody sessions, but hey, live and learn. 3 of the chicks look normal ie no naked necks, and one is a naked neck. Now, I live in Spain and my spanish isn't great. I guessed when I ordered my chickens this time last year (all advertised as cuello desnudo, naked neck, and all with 'bow ties') that they wouldn't be pure breeds, but I did hope. Can anyone explain to me why I have non naked neck chicks. I thought the NN gene was dominant. I do remember a little of the genetics I took in high school biology so don;t shy away from using scientific terminology. I can always look it up !
Thanks in advance !
