Their temperament is what drew me to owning them and eventually, breeding them. I have kids and I show my RO... They are calm, docile and very food motivated.
I could be mistaken as I am not on the SOP committee, but I'm pretty sure that's the focus last I heard. If you have experience with the path to APA acceptance and own the breed, you should consider joining the Society and helping out.
Except white, is not, in the United States. It is an accepted color abroad, but there are no white LF Russian Orloff IN the US not to mention the SOP that is being worked on is concentrating on... Spangled. Hence my statement. Hopefully that clarifies what I was intending to say.
Also to address the white hen thing... No, white is not a sex-linked color. Hens do progressively (roosters too but they don't spangle like hens) whiten with each molt, so the older they are they whiter they can be. Some lines are white(r), but it is not an accepted color as a spangled Russian...
