Ooo a very fun mix! I love SS, mine were friendly and had surprisingly individual patterns 😊

Yeah, they're one of my favorite breeds, too. I used to have 3 but now I am down to 1 (but I have a lot of their babies (grown now) including the rooster.) 🐓

Aw I’d love to see them you don’t mind! A ton of mine are 5 week olds, though my roo Cheezit is of course still kickin 😂

Next Spring (unless I can contain myself) I am going to ask our feedstore if they can order me in some Russian Orloffs--they are like SS with a muff and a beard. 😊

I will try to find her! (She's out free-ranging). I might have pictures of my others that I had, but I will see. I have to bring our livestock guardian dog in to the vet, but will try to get some pics soon!📷🐔

I would love a SS rooster! ♥️ (I mean purebred, mines great, though, but I always thought SS roosters looked nice.)

I’ve wanted to see if I could find Russian orloffs for a while now, but they seem so hard to find!

I think I mentioned my lone mix Rhode Island Red roo, but haven’t posted flock photos yet lol. Molting season here and he has no butt 😂

Oh is that Cheez-it? (Haha, that does make sense. 😆) Are his tail feathers usually white? What is he? A RIR/BO cross?

White surprisingly! I think that makes him a red comet or “red sexlink”? I saw the birds that were his parents so maybe he’s gen 2 sexlink, but more likely just good ol’ barnyard 😂

What all birds are in your flock?

Sorry I edited the post bc I realized my first guess was 🙃, but you saw it before I changed it, lol.

Oh, I have a lot of different breeds... the ones mentioned before + Bielefelders, a Cuckoo Marans, an Easter Egger (that lays brown eggs), chicks: 2 Seramas, Blue Andalusians, Steele Eggers, an Olive Egger & Prairie Bluebell Eggers. Plus Coturnix Quail.
