I know that Welp hatchery carries Russian Orloff and also a hatchery called Spring Hill Preservation Society. Both are easily found on the Web

Both carry the spangled variety. I wasn't aware that Ideal carried them as well. I'll look into them. Thank you

Welp hatchery has closer to the original of chickens, but very weak. I think it result imbreeding. From 25 chickens I managed to select only 8 hens and 1roo. From Ideal Poultry bird more stronger, but all mix, sorry. From 25 I could not keep nobody.

Kummer Farms has beautiful birds. I have ordered welsummer hatching eggs not Russian Orloffs, but here is the link if you'd like to check it out.

Did you ever find some good Orloffs? I'm in Minneapolis and in search of orloffs. Preferably other colors than the spangled but I know that there hard to come by, so I'll take whatever I find as long as they lay good.

Lovely birds do you have any available?

The Mahogany Orloff Kummer Farms has posted on there web page would make a better "Bearded Buckeye" than a Orloff.

Hi! I know this is an old thread but I just found out that I have a Russian Orloff. It isn't "spangled" its more of a red color. She is currently laying. I also read that she is rare... Does anyone know of any breeders that may be interested in her? I want to help continue the breed! She is just a lawn ornament at my house.. which we do love her but if she served a better purpose somewhere else I would part with her.


This photo doesn't do her justice.

Very pretty Mahogany Russian Orloff! I have RO's but I don't show. Out of 6 chicks and 11 eggs hatched I sold all but 6. I had bought them from another 'chicken person' that I met so all current ones are brothers/sisters. I ordered 5 more from a hatchery for breeding since they are so beautiful. At what age did yours start laying?

 

[bamitsbrittany]

She was actually given to me already laying so I have no idea! She is a sweet girl though.I added a couple of better photos of her. lol Wondering if I should get an orloff rooster!

She's pretty. The chicks I hatched were darker than the ones I got recently, almost pastel colored. I'll have to post a pick of my boys cuz they recently started crowing and are now hormonal Two of them have a good bit of white in their muffs which I think looks handsome but may not be desired for show. One of the pullets doesn't have a muufs or beard at all so she won't be used for breeding.
