sugarmouse Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 As i've mentioned in a previous post, i hatched 3 naked necks 2 weeks ago which were meant to be silkies. I love them to bits but cant decide whether to keep or sell them as i dont want cockerels again having just got rid of my aggressive one, which has left me a bit nervous around birds in general. These are supposed to be bantams or so the seller informs me. What are they like as adult birds, the hen and the cockerel? Has anyone had a bad experience with them? I cant make up my mind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rosey Supposey Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 Sorry to post a useless reply, but want to tell you my other half is SO jealous of you right now! He desperately wants to keep Transylvanian Naked Necks after reading about them in a magazine in the newsagent! This really was a useless response... Sorry...

batcatz Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 I think they sound lovely! Are you going to keep them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legend21 Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 wonder how they would do in Scotland with their little bare necks Jackie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eggasperated Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 My Carol has a permanently bare neck thanks to Pippa (and she's definitely not Transylvanian) and she's survived the whole winter up here without a woolly scarf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cranfield Kate Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 I met some at a Pets At Home chicken night and had a chat with the man from mudchute farm about them. they were REALLY nice chooks. a bit grim looking at first but after watching them for a bit you could see they were full of character but not nasty. I was smitten. the mudchute man said they were pretty resilient to cold. and it was so cool the way they could perch on a finger! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickyhazel Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 They sound great I would definitely keep them. They look gorgeous in their own unique way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
