I have a friend who raises Orloffs and she says that they will lay quite well for about a year, then they start going broody, and are very persistent about it. She's been trying to talk me into getting some, but so far I haven't succumbed (I think they are neat, just don't have room for all the breeds I'd like to try).

So glad I stumbled upon this thread! My local farm center is getting in some orloff chicks next Friday and I'm thinking of picking a couple up. I haven't been able to find a whole lot of information ...but love the pic posted..they look super cute! I'm concerned about how much the laying will drop off, and the broodiness...but other then that they might be fun to try.
