    Turken

    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...

    Naked Necks

    I was wondering if Naked Neck pullets faces begin turning red sooner than other breeds? The first one, I still have hope for… the second, I’m loosing hope… I’m afraid I may have just hatched all roosters. (There’s 5 others that are not Naked Necks.)

    I have a Turken is it too cold or should i do something

    My last post was a jumble mess so im kind of reasking? I have a rooster just so happens he's a naked neck one. He's pretty big actually and fat so his weight i think is perfect. This week on we are in the single digits to just bellow zero. We have been getting high winds and it makes it that...

    New Babies!

    My wonderful friend brought me some new babies, 4 cochins and 2 Turkens. Out of all the different breeds I've had so far, the turkens are my favorite! They have outside playtime in a spare room but they always come to me for cuddles. The cochins are very skittish but now 1 allows me to touch...

    ISO Pictures for a Project

    Hi all! I'm working on a video project (that will be on YouTube. :) ) about Naked Necks and the genetics behind them, but I need some pictures! Both of my birds are heterozygous and both have bibs and I really need some pictures of homozygous naked necks, meaning they do not have a bib. :)...

    Hi! (Chick pics)

    My husband and I got two laying black Andalusians and a cochin mix earlier this year, and recently decided to expand. I wanted something more unusual, so I jumped on a couple of two month old turken bantams when somebody decided they couldn't keep them with their full size flock. The little...

    The Waiting Game

    Two flocks, five babies, and a lot of time! So much fun! I've been managing my flocks, integrating smaller/younger fowl into the coop/run with my mature hens. Now, I wait! So far, all is well and everyone is happy. The little ones are adjusting and the big girls are not bullying. I've been...

    Hatching Versus Purchasing

    I wasn't sure if this went with Hatching or Raising chicks, so please bear with me if this thread is wrongly placed. My turkens have never successfully hatched eggs before, so any addition to the flock was purchased as day-old chicks. My girl was broody and my roo was rather twitterpated this...

    First hatch. Babies with combs?

    My turkens have never hatched any of their own eggs. When acquiring new chickens, I've always had to purchase them. My girl was being moody and broody, so I let her sit on her eggs. (I don't usually leave the eggs with her. Last time we tried to let her, the eggs actually started to rot...) I...

    Free group of Turkens

    Hi everyone! Today I have 6 turkens up for rehoming, there’s 5 hens and 1 gorgeous roo. I have somewhere the roo could go if you just want some or all of the hens, I understand that not everyone can have roos. They’re all about five months old. They just don’t fit well at all with my flock, and...

So the run down; I went to Tractor Supply today just because. I mean I was right there, why not. I walk in...

    ISO Naked Necks

    I’ve been searching for a few different breeds to complete my flock. My ultimate dream chicken is a Turken. So, I’m looking for any farm or breeder that could sell me either chicks or pullets. Any help would be appreciated, maybe there’s someone on here that sells them. Oh, and I’m located in...
