Transylvanian White Naked-Neck

Transylvanian white naked-neck is a white variety of the Naked Neck chicken, a type historically connected with Transylvania and neighboring parts of central and eastern Europe. Its bare neck is the main structural feature, while the white plumage gives the bird a clean, high-contrast appearance. The variety belongs to a practical farm-fowl tradition rather than a decorative mutation with no working background.

White Naked Neck chickens can be useful in small production flocks where keepers want hardy birds, moderate laying, and less feathering at processing time. Pale plumage may show dirt more readily, so clean litter and dry outdoor areas help birds look and perform better. The exposed neck should be watched for sun irritation, pecking, and winter chill. Breeding goals are straightforward: keep the naked-neck trait, maintain white color, and select birds that are strong, fertile, and manageable in real housing conditions.
