The Naked Neck, often called the “Turken,” is a unique and hardy breed easily recognized by its featherless neck and partially featherless body. Despite their unusual appearance, Naked Necks are friendly, calm, and excellent for both hot and cold climates. Their reduced feathering helps them stay cool in warm weather while still maintaining good hardiness in winter. They are strong foragers, easy to care for, and adapt well to backyard or free-range environments. Naked Neck hens are dependable layers of medium to large brown eggs and are known for their good mothering instincts. With their gentle temperament, excellent productivity, and distinctive look, Naked Necks are a practical and memorable addition to any flock.
