Rarest breed of chicken in the US?

You need to get in touch with chickielady--she is starting out with the RIWs too! You have some very nice ones (they are sure rare!)

As for your Orloffs, they are okay....hens look to have too much white and the rooster looks a little dark...what lines are they from?

No idea where the Orloffs came from. They guy I got them from had bought them from someone else a few months before that. I'll hatch out some chicks (IF they ever decide to lay an egg that is..)
and see what comes out of them.

Here's a better comb shot of one of the RIW's...they're ginormous guys!

Impressive bird! How is their temperament?

 

[Scraps]

They're sweethearts, not a mean bone in any of 'em. They actually love to be picked up (especially the older guy) and carried around the yard.

I'm in N. Florida. I got the eggs 2 years ago off of Ebay. I think they came from Mo. or Ks, I can't remember right off hand.
I'd love to swap with you in the spring!! I love em', they're really pretty to look at except after they take their dirt baths

 

[Chickielady]

I am dreading the day these learn to dirt bathe outside...or when the roos learn to mount and the hens are so filthy.
With all our mud...maybe we should breed some chocolate coloring into the breed !
Look me up about March and we can swap !

Rhode Island Chocolates.....hhmmm....is that even possible?! Maybe some of these genetics people could work on that one

I'll look you up in March!!
