Transylvanian Naked Neck. Easy to puck if you eat them due to less feathering, tolerant of heat and cold. Consistant layer of large brown eggs.
I have two: Mina and Lucy. Mina looks like a true TNN while Lucy who is rather on the flighty side is an excellent forager.

Also called the Turken because people use to believe they were a cross between a chicken and a turkey. Go figure. :p

This is useful information, thanks!

I love their names. Also, I recognize the name "Turken" which I've seen before, just didn't realize it related to the same birds.
