Columbian Wyandotte
Naked Neck
It is believed that Naked Necks originated in Eastern Hungary with more concentrated breeding 
taking place in Germany. The first examples were seen in Britain about 1880 and were known as 
Transylvanian Naked Necks. Naked Neck Chicks from Ideal Poultry are multicolored and are 
characterized by an absence of feathers on the neck. They have single combs and clean, yellow legs 
and feet. Since Ideal Poultry does not breed for any specific color, adult plumage color will vary.

Columbian Wyandottes were developed from a cross of White Wyandottes and Barred Plymouth 
Rocks. Columbian Wyandotte chicks have gray backs with light yellow heads, wing tips and chests. 
They have rose combs and clean, yellow legs and feet. Adult males and females have a similar 
plumage that is primarily white with black markings. The wing primaries are black or black edges 
while the secondaries have a black inner web and white outer web. The tail is green black except 
the top two feathers that may be laced with white, and the coverts may or may not be laced with 
white.
