Hey all, I’ve got another fun guessing game for you. I posted two Orloffs here: https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/6-week-old-russian-orloff-sexing.1630493/ with periodic updates, and I’ve got another grow out I’d like your opinions on! I’ll get some closer up photos later.
I’ve also...
Hello! I stopped at my local chick store because they were supposed to get a shipment in with Russian orloffs. The gal working pulled out some dark colored (almost back chicks) and I said I don’t think that’s right. The other in that bin were what I thought the hatchery photo for their Russian...
Help!
I bought 4 chicks (2 partidge rocks and 2 Orloffs) back in February, then went back a week later and bought 2 more (an Easter egger and a cuckoo maran). They were all supposed to be females but I’m starting to think my orloff isnt a pellet…. Sally (Sal) is the same size as all the other...

I've wanted to do a heritage type meat bird for a little while, but everytime I find a breed I want...
Greetings, peeps! I'm a newb to the chicken breed identifications, and was wanting to try raising some Russian Orloffs. Mostly because I think they are beautiful... and fairly rare. My question is though, I like the splashy, lighter colors - is there such a thing as a "SPLASH" Spangled...
Hey guys, I have a 6 month old hen and am not for certain what breed she is. I bought her from Rural King and she was sold as an Ameraucana. However, pics are below of what she looks like now. She looks like a spangled Russian Orloff to me, but bc they so rare I am hesitant to think thats what...
Hello, so in Europe black Russian orloffs are a breed but in America they aren't available. Does anyone know who or how I can obtain them. I love their coloring. I would import but can't find anyone that will import them or export them. Thank you. White is also a color I love.
Hubby and I started our very own flock in the spring of this year (2017). I had absolutely no experience with fowl, except faint childhood memories of my daddy having fightin chickens, and my uncle's farm where they roamed free & pooped everywhere. Bleah!!
He talked me into it, and I agreed...
