From egg to chick!

[2ndTink]

No-scales is what I had in mind, but naked snout works I guess

What if they were opposite of a NN, like a normal alligator body and head with a feathered neck that would look awesome. What color feathers would an alligator have?

Black with a green shine, like ayam cemani?

For those of you that don't know the babies. I bought a mystery barnyard mix off ebay. They sent 2 dozen instead of 1. Out of 24 shipped eggs, 20 made it to lockdown. 2 eggs from each batch ended up not making it. There are 16 babies, 2 of which have crooked beaks and are being watched carefully.

They have moved from inside to outside as they were already escaping the brooder box I had (shame on them rascals), and have, so far, integrated nicely.

Out of all 16 hatched eggs....one was a turken! Who is named Dolly Parton btw. Follow along if you are new! Otherwise hop right back on in friends and let's continue the journey from egg to chicken.

I LOVE Dolly Parton, she is SO cute

I live somewhere cold so I probably can't have naked necks

Apparently they are cold hardy. Just gotta keep am eye on the skin and give them massages and spa treatments like maybe coconut oil? Lol. It would be a spoiled chicken that's for sure! We got down to 20s this winter and she was fine without any intervention. Maybe I will get her a chicken scarf

Yes. Def. Maybe with a "scale" pattern on the feathers too

 

[ElfenLied89]

Naked Snout? oh my gosh, what if alligators typically had a hairy nose?

Omg nooooo

 

[ElfenLied89]

A feathery alligator then? With a NN of course! And a feathery head like Dolly!

Someone draw or edit an alligator with feathers

Mine will probably die because it got in the below 0's last winter (and every winter.) My chickens get awful frostbite so their necks might get frostbite where I live

Then maybe a chicken sweater for NN's? Lol. Imagine a NN in a turtle neck.
