Turken Naked Neck Chicks

The Turken “Naked Neck” is a chicken with a turkey-like twist. This interesting breed has no feathers around the neck and fewer throughout its bulky body. These characteristics make it an excellent dual-purpose bird. Since they do have fewer feathers, they will need heating in colder winter climates. Turkens have great personalities and are quite friendly making them great for beginner backyard chicken keepers. The females have a broody nature and make excellent mothers. Each hen will lay roughly 180 to 240 medium to large brown eggs annually. The roosters weigh an average of 8.5 pounds and the hens weigh an average of 6.5 pounds. Turken Naked Necks are not an APA-recognized breed. These interesting chickens live an average of 7 years, longer if well taken care of. If you are looking for some interesting baby poultry, you have come to the right place. We at Valley Hatchery strive to provide the best day-old chicks of any breed that are happy, healthy, and ready for their new home.
