Congrats on your wins wish I could have met you all. it WAS chilly! I ended up with a green sweater not a purple shirt after spilling my coffee all down the front B$ even getting out the door.
I had the only Orloff there and so they won their little non APA thing. Did get to meet some others...
Will be my first ever real poultry show except for seeing out little county fair one. Gramma hope to meet you. I'm tall and big will have a purple shirt on and probably a grateful dead do-rag on my head because my nappy hair will not be contained! Fingerlakes Feather Club seems to have several...
how adorable :) anytime of the year is good to have baby chickas imo
Happy to see your post!
I recently found one of my Orloff pullets on 19 eggs in a community nest. Was in a bad spot that floods near the creek and got her moved sucessfully. Should be hatching soon but anybodys guess...
I entered some of my Russian Orloff. Will bring a quad of Dbl Laced Barnevelder and 2 - 6 month old Horstman/Kittle RIR cockerels for sale. Maybe a few RO cockerels and if pullets if anyone is interested. I entered 5 RO.

Cherie, Here is another good link I thought you might get something from.
http://www.maximustroypublications.com/newsletters/how-to-create-a-strain/ Lots of good articles here.
I have nothing to report yet on any outcrossing but do have some eggs to hatch! will let you know how it goes.
Very interested to hear how your project comes out. Will you be using a Saipan rooster or hen? or both? You want to make bearded and muffed Saipan?
Heres a link to some simple sites for traits that helped me understand some things.

Yes I agree the little Silkies seem to really need extra vitamins or they do weird things with their little heads and all. This flock gets vitamins regularly. All of my flock I hatched here or they came as day old and they are all still kicking but last year my area of NY I live saw a lot of...
The two legbars got it about a week ago. They both recovered wtihin two days. I'm certain they would have died without some help. The cockerel was off his legs and drunk the pullet had it in her neck it was pitiful. I had not had it before and started looking at causes. You know you always think...
With the warm weather and in my area lots of rain its ripe season for botulism in the poultry. I had not experienced it before this summer but had two cases of it in the legbar a week ago after a bad storm then very hot weather. We had more torrential rain a day ago and its very wet outside...
If you would like to stay in with the Orloff I have lots of upcoming Cockerels hatched Mar 9 and 17. I most certainly will not grow them all out tho I would love to keep them all. You are welcome to have one. I live in Central NY.
VERY VERY pretty- nice Orloff too my mottleds came locally its my first ones ever.. they are about 4 months old but still have lots of white.. slowly getting the black. Big ! love how large they are.
Don't blame you a bit Momhunter. I have had my knickers in knots over stuff like this and it does help to be the squeaky wheel
ESPECIALLY if you are right!
