Turkens

Naked Neck



While you may be wondering if you're looking at a love child gone wrong between a chicken and turkey, we can assure you they are all chicken. Originating from Eastern Hungary, the bird's naked neck was an intentional addition to help them tolerate hotter climates.


They became popular for their large size and that they were easier for chefs to pluck. Their humorous appearance isn't for everyone, but their large size makes for a good pair of big sisters to help guard the flock.
