Bare backed babies

Me too! Obviously this is the first time I have had them, but I think they are beautiful!

I always wanted some, but right when TSC got some in, I had a surprise of 12 mixed chicks that a bantam broody hid from me, so I had no room for orloffs!

Here are pics of Misha from the side. Thankfully she was eating so I didn't have to mess with her anymore. It's really hot already!
My pullets have just started laying and so far nobody has gone broody. Surprise chicks would not be a good thing right now! Fingers crossed nobody sneaks off!

Orloffs will change very much over the first year. Your coop will always look like a pillow fight! They will get more spangled as time goes on. Awesome birds! Quiet and super sweet temper!

I would hazard a guess at cockerel but only more time will tell. Maybe post a full profile picture? Exciting times!

Thank you so much for the info! One of my girls is very Spangled right now, but the other one not so much. I'm happy to know that they will continue to change!
