Is there any demand for these? the last of the broilers imported from France are laying reasonable sized eggs should I hatch some or just add them to the sale eggs?

market them as "easy for first time"  kills ... you can easy see where to neck them!
And the one we had tasted delicious

They have a certain novelty value too

Have you seen the cross between a naked neck and a silkie?

Not entirely sure I think it's a wise idea, but they sure are cute!

Now they are very cute

Aren't they just?!
I wish I could justify having some, but I suspect they don't find winter too much fun and I need my lot to be relatively hardy, they look too delicate for the  harsher weather.

A friend had me hatch some for him, I've never seen such odd looking chicks  Still, they do seem quite popular...... (mystified  )

They don't look real! I would love some of these though I suspect you would get a lot of variations from a clutch, they wouldn't all be like this one

The showgirl is lovely, so cute

The French naked necks are not the much smaller English purebred version, which originates from Romania. The French birds are broilers, created by crosing the tasty TNN with something else -no-one know what. Their shape is quite different, not the elegant bird you see over here. They don't lay that well. What would be intesting is a cross of the French hybrid with the Romanian original to get a bigger dual purpose Utility -project for France when we get there as we are taking a top quality breeding quartet over with us.
