Turken Naken Necks (EW!)

[chickentrains]

No I never seen mine get suburn. You seem my profile and my thread not all turken are ugly mine is gorgeous.

I like yours because its frizzled, I like showgirls too because they are fluffier. I think the flat feathers with the naked neck is unflattering

I'm such a fan of naked necks! I joke with my boyfriend that they're the pugs of the chicken world haha so ugly they're cute.

My Roo is a NN and he's very friendly and all around a great rooster to his girls. He won't be winning any beauty pageants but he keeps his ladies happy! And he also did wonderful this winter and we reached -30C in February this year.

dont their necks get sun burned?

I really don't like the look, but I see the apeal

They can if they can't get out of the sun. They seem to be able to sense it better than people though

I will say my girls all are pretty disturbing looking when they have big full crops

Mine are friendly and great foragers. They lay perfect satiny large to extra large eggs, are very cold hardy and you can make any color you want. I have had some with crests (legbar cross), feathered legs and feet (cochin cross) and some truly impressive Jersey Giant crosses that stalk around like little dinosaurs. Excellent egg layers and superior meat birds. And the chicks are such little cuties. They grow on you after a while.

I am adventurous and love an unusual chicken. I just ordered some NN/frizzle eggs. I think they are standard size, I have had both and I do like the bantams better, but I have not had NN in so long, I don't care at this point.

All of the Turken Naked Necks I've seen are ugly! Who else thinks this way? Why were they bred with no feathers on their necks? I think I heard because their easier to pluck that way... But just WHY? They are so ugly. If you care to object, please do so, but I feel like a lot of people will agree with me on this one. Even Showgirl chickens don't look good, contrary to their name.

I have 2 and absolutely love them !! They are so sweet. They Love to be held and petted.
