Although Transylvanian Naked Neck chickens look more like a Frankenstein cross between a chicken and a turkey, they are 100% chicken. This is how they got the name Turken, as many people truly believed that they were a Turkey Chicken crossbreed.
The lack of feathers on the neck is an adaptation to help them stay cool in hot climates.

That second one from the left seriously looks like a dick and balls.

I used to have a few of them. Everyone who saw them thought they were diseased, but they were just my cute mini vultures to me 🤣

I love how varied chicken breeds are! They range from stunningly beautiful to absolutely goofy!

Found a better image that's not AI generated.

I'm not so certain. I doubt that AI would get the motion blur of the chicken pecking the ground right.Edit: Looks like I was late to the discussion

OP updated the image. Latest one definitely looks like a naked neck

If they're anything like chickens, that skin will be super soft, and you'll want to touch it, but will be pecked mercilessly if you try, and they aren't in the mood.

I'm terrible at telling AI pics apart from real ones. Found a better one that's definitely real.
