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.

      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
