Objective: To evaluate the distribution of plumage [naked neck (Na) or normal (NN)] and the type of comb [simple (SC) or rose (RC)] in the progeny of creole roosters (Gallus gallus domesticus L.) with Na and RC.Design/methodology/approach: A completely random design was used, two groups, each one consisting of a rooster with Na and RC, and eight hens NN with SC were used to evaluate the type of neck and comb, and initial weight of the progeny.Results: The 53% of the progeny presented Na and 47% NN, while 81% showed RC and 19% SC. The initial live weight was similar in Na than in NN chickens and similar in RC and SC birds. Limitations on study/implications: In the revised of the literature, little information was found on the progeny of creole chickens with naked neck and rose comb.Findings/conclusions: The results of the present work showed that when crossing roosted naked neck and rose comb with hens normal neck and simple crest in their progeny, can be observed both types of neck and a greater presence chickens with rose comb, without presenting a difference in weight initial.
