There is no reason your couldn't. Depending on how many naked genes the naked neck has, you'll get either 100% with one gene or 50% with one gene and 50% with none (so a normal looking chicken). Also depends on the color the naked neck is to determine what the chick colors may bwWondering if it would be allright to cross White Leghorn hens to Turken Rooster ?
I believe they might be purcred Leghorn hens they are 2 yr old now and I got 6 purbred Turken and a Roo a couple i got the Leghorn from a friend so the Roo wouldn't over breed the 6 Turken hens. Turkens are Red and Brown dont know the breeding and not full naked feathering on the necks mozt have the bow tie.

It's a Average, not guaranteed half and half for every hatch.I just hatched out this cross and didn't get any showgirls
How many chicks did you hatch?I just hatched out this cross and didn't get any showgirls
I see ! he is fully naked nakedHow many chicks did you hatch?
It should be 50/50 odds, just like the odds of male vs. female, or flipping a coin and getting heads or tails. Just like you can flip a coin two or three times and get the same thing every time, you can get all males or all the chicks can have feathered necks. But the more chicks you hatch, or the more times you flip a coin, the more likely you are to get some of both kinds.
Just to check the obvious-- the rooster does have a naked neck, right? No matter what his ancestors are like, if he has a fully feathered neck, so will all his chicks. But if he has the "bowtie" appearance, he should be siring 50% naked neck chicks (bowtie type).
If the rooster has a fully naked neck, with no bowtie, then every one of his chicks should show a naked neck, no matter which hens he is bred to.I see ! he is fully naked naked
