I was just reading the Feathersite info on the Russian Orlofs, and it says they are known to be poor layers. I know some of you mentioned wanting them, and Tori, Steph and I were talking about them the other day, they are beautiful. But the poor laying thing kinda stinks.
The major characteristics of the breed are its round head with full muffs and beard, topped off by a small raspberry comb. The beak should be short and hooked and the eyelids heavy. The legs should be yellow. They lay a light brown egg, but are known to be poor layers. They were developed for the table. Although a slow-growing breed, Orloffs are very hardy and resistant to harsh winter weather.
