Naked Neck/Turken Thread

Turken/EE cross update pics! Now 6 weeks old. These chicks don't know the meaning of the word 'calm'! :cd Is it normal for them to feather out so slowly? 1 is much more developed than the others!

Cool, post them on the Green Egger Baked Neck Thread. Are they pea combed? Cool colors.

Yes, all 4 are pea combed.

Beautiful! My nn/ee is feathering slower than my other nn and the rest. Especially up around the "shoulders".

Maybe it is because they'll be really big birds?!

<-- That's not because I'm gonna eat them but because I like large birds

The pullets from this cross should give you blue/green eggs. Not guaranteed but highly likely.

By the way mine of the NN/EE cross were fast feathering.

That's awesome! Congratulations!

I think my hatch is now over. Out of 16 eggs, 11 hatched. I've left the 5 remaining in the incubator, but it's been two days of zero activity so I'll be removing them tomorrow morning if something doesn't happen today. I was shocked to discover that three of my chicks have feathered shanks, and one of those has a fully feathered neck. At least I know he's homozygous...and I guess the variety can give me some phenotypes to play with once they're old enough to breed.
