My fiance came home with a turken pullet last night as a surprise for me, he's so sweet. I have questions. Do they require extra care? Do their bare necks need protection from the sun? Google said they'll need neck protection during winter, what should I use? Also when they're fully grown is...
Looking to create a fibro naked neck. If I breed a black turken hen to an ayam cemani rooster, would I get a NN ayam cemani?
Also, if my ayam cemani rooster has leakage, would it alter the color of the offspring?

I have searched all over the internet and in stores and can’t seem to find anybody that is selling pure white turkens. (McMurray used to but isn’t selling them this year) So my question is, how do I achieve this myself? I already own red/buff Turken hens and was hoping I could breed them with my...
About me...
I have had some chickens around off and on throughout my life. When I was growing up in Hawaii, I began with a few Bantams for a few years. I loved them, and they had such cute little eggs. Then, 10 years later, I had some early Araucanas (blue, green, & pink eggs) and a couple of...

This batch includes some purchased eggs from a neighbor and from my own May-June babies ❤️ So a true backyard mix is gonna pop out.
Most of the chicks should be black or black patterned. Some will...
I noticed these spots on Turken last week. I thought she may be just getting picked on, so I kept a close eye and didn't see any bullying. Then a spot popped up on Dante that I noticed today. I researched and it looks like Fowl Pox. There are no lesions in their mouths or foul odors, just these...
Would this guy be some type of Rhode Island Red? Wanting to incubate some eggs and was just curious what type of mix he might be. He’s a handsome guy and has a lovely attitude.
I originally hatched it out in an incubator and then slipped him/her under a broody silkie who is now her mom.
Dad is definitely a Lavender Ameracauna
I have a lot of breeds of hens but majority of Lavender's babies are black.
So why is this little guy/gal WHITE?!

Hello my name is Ashley, currently living in Tennessee and I am now obsessed with chickens ahah.
(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? Yes, started in May of this year!
(2) How many chickens do you have right now? 16 but have 8 more coming in December (the number...
I have an naked neck turken rooster. He is around 2 years old. The other day I was cleaning their coop and noticed that he had a large yellow crusty looking mass on his comb. Im not real sure when it first started forming because he has a somewhat large comb that flops over to one side and it...
So I have a new flock of 9 that are almost 6 weeks old. 2 of them are Naked Necks, which I've come to find out may be the most loving chicken in the world. The black one here taking the#1 spot. I was getting excited thinking of all the places we'd go together until last week when suddenly this...
Are Naked Necks (Turkens) from Hoover Hatchery pure? Or do they mix them with other breeds and, given that the naked neck genes are dominant, just call the Naked Necks?
Okay so about a month ago, my beloved Rudy the Turken rooster succumbed to his injuries after fighting off some sort of predator. I'm not sure exactly what happened, but he and one hen were missing at bedtime, couldn't find any sign of either of them anywhere, and Rudy literally hobbled in...
This is John and Yolko. I learned of naked necks and had to have some, so my own sweet partner made a three hour round trip drive to surprise me with these two from a local breeder. We bought them straight run, but John showed himself early. They were hatched march 10 so they are only 8 weeks...

3 weeks old today, I got this chick locally with another yellow but now white chick, I asked if they were crossed with anything and the breeder said “no they are 100% Transylvania turkens”… but my little black chick has ended up barred and he also had 50 barred rocks for sale so I’m thinking mom...
A few weeks ago, the kind woman I bought my incubator from offered me 12 free eggs to start my hatching journey. Peering into the basket, I saw many shades of green and dark brown eggs. One by one I sorted through which eggs I wanted until my hand paused on the largest green egg that I have ever...
Looking for full sized NN Turken eggs to ship to Maryland. A diversity of plumage color is great but black or blue would get me off to a good start. If you're interested in a swap I have lots of heritage/rare chickens, ducks, turkey's, and geese. Thanks!
