Transylvanian Naked Necks




These chickens are just gorgeous aren't they?
They have quite a few feathers less than your average chicken, to make it easier to pluck apparently. They are heat and cold resistant and very calm. We have laying hens as well who are very efficient but I consider these little beauties to be REAL chickens. They are a hardy bird. We had some of them years ago. We had a bad time with foxes then and one of our roosters survived two fox attacks. And the name, who wouldn't love to own chickens with a name like this.
