WitchHazel Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 Maybe best to email the seller and ask whether his TNNs are large fowl or bantams? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sugarmouse Posted March 6, 2010 Author Share Posted March 6, 2010 yes good idea Hazel. 2 of the naked necks have a bib of feathers at the front from throat to crop and just naked at the back whilst the 3rd is completely naked. Do you think they are crossed with something or just a product of many generations of breeding? Just curious Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WitchHazel Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 The ones with the bib will possibly have some sort of cross in their background (they are supposed to be completely clean necked) ; however, having said that, the one I got from Wernlas had a bib so I wouldn't worry about it too much.

sugarmouse Posted March 9, 2010 Author Share Posted March 9, 2010 Hi Raina, Im Gingernut from the Urban-chickens forum. I'm glad you are getting some eggs now, have you a copy of Practical Poultry magazine, they have a list of breeders in all areas of the country. Also have you looked on Bid4Poultry.co.uk or Preloved.co.uk Gill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craftyhunnypie Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 Oh I'd love some naked necks. I'm going to try & sneak some this year. Either they will mysteriously appear in the chicken shed one morning.... , or I will hatch some & not crack on what breed they are! Gorgeous chick pics.

sugarmouse Posted March 13, 2010 Author Share Posted March 13, 2010 There is someone selling some eggs on ebay who lives in Greater Manchester if thats any use. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/6-transylvanian-naked-neck-eggs-for-hatching_W0QQitemZ270545250292QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Pet_Supplies_Poultry?hash=item3efdc0e7f4 Gill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 I may try & get some eggs from Wernlas if I can. They are always excellent fertility rates & quality! However, if I could find some eggs locally, that would be far better. Hubby has agreed to me hatching some. Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
