Naked Neck/Turken Thread

I have a mixed NN that got her mom’s unique coloring. It’s not white but not dirty. She has the black splotches from her Ayam dad, her Mom had brown lacing on her bow tie and a few black splotches. Could anyone tell me what the unique color of those non-white feathers are called?

That’s what i’m Thinking for general color description but didn’t know on the specific color of the dishwater color.

I am not an expert for the colours but I did hear about black/blue/splash and you say that your chicken's father is ayam cemani (black). it is just a lucky guess. I hope the others will give you the right answer.

That does make sense. I’ll have to breed her back to another hatch of the same parents to see what I’d get.
Here is Vader

Vader is a cool name for that guy. Beautiful bird!

@igorsMistress Thank you! I’d hoped he’d kept his dad’s skin color (AC) but only his legs stayed black. He made quite the change from when he hatched

WOW that's quite a change. How old is he now?

Beautiful babies! Is that color called blue Silver?

That is what I was told.

I'm not really sure what you'd call it. Maybe Smoky. Looks like mom was a dominant white with red/buff leakage and dad was black. I'm told that can create Smoky. The black splotches was caused by dominant white.

@igorsMistress he is 16 weeks so still very young. I’m really excited to see how he turns out. He is already huge compared to the other hen I referenced above who is actually older than him by a month.
