Rare! Strange & Unique- Eight (8+) Turken / Transylvanian Hatching Chicken Eggs!

Description: Eight (8+) Transylvanian Naked Neck or "Turken" Chicken Hatching Eggs Possibly the weirdest birds on the block? Originating in Romania and Transylvania in about the 1920s, the Transylvanian Naked Neck or "Turken" almost appears to be a Hybrid of a chicken and a domestic turkey! With its highly unusual appearance, Turkens are a fairly common chicken in Europe today, but they are considered rare in North America. There are actually 50% less feathers on a Turken, as compared to a regular chicken, with feathers sometimes missing from the underbelly, underneath the wings, and near the vent A dual-purpose breed, they are suitable for both meat and egg production. Recognized by the American Poultry Association in 1965, they are described as "the strangest looking bird in the poultry world, which has a very interesting appearance with the absence of neck feathers or hackles." New research has recently proven that the same gene responsible for less feathering, the BMP12 gene, also leads to healthier, more disease resistant birds You can count on this breed to make great conversation with curious neighbors! Our Turken flock consists of larger birds between 6.5 - 9.5 Lbs. with beautiful rainbow mixed colors including Black, White, Red, Buff, and Silver. Despite their lack of feathers, they are very cold weather tolerant, disease resistant, and excellent layers of double-yoked eggs! Our flock produces beautiful brown eggs a variety of hues from dark brown to tan, including some pink-ish or purple-brown varieties.
