Genetically it is a Naked neck, sometimes called turken. However it carries a double hit of a rare genetic mutation (that exists in my flock) causing it to not have scales or feather follicles. This mutation isn't from being naked necked any breed of chicken can carry it and if one gets a double recessive hit then they can't grow feathers. This one has more tufts then any I have hatched, no matter how old it gets they will always be fluff, no actual feathers.
