Orange Mottled Chicken!

[Sock Puppet]

This is going to be a fun project

Im totally in!

Waiting for my little ones to get bigger that I got from Sommer!

Hoping for all Pullets

Good luck on your project! Here is a recent pic of one of my Spangled Russian Orloff hens. You might consider adding them to your breeding project, as beside the nice coloring, they have wonderful temperaments and are good winter layers

banter-

We've definately thought about it--but not a lot of people in the US have LF orloffs--or they are funky non-good colors--and the spangling gene works different...

Soo MANY ways to go! Like I need incentive to get MORE chickens.

Your bird is pretty!

If you wanna send it over, I'll be happy to take em! I'd worry about the heat though

We all need more chickens! It's so hard to have just a couple breeds!

In the case of Spangled Orloffs, Spangled Games, and Speckled Sussex, they are not true spangled, their color works genetically the same as Mille Fluer and mottleing.

Well then! Banter SHOULD send that hottie pottie chicken over!

Learning every day!

Sure that Russian Orloff is a young cockeral has sickle tail feathers and saddle feathers.

Yeah, I forgot to mention that too, that is definitely a roo, not a hen.

and den?

Takes two to tango!

Here are the results of this week's hatch. More to come on the 1st.

I think the brown & yellow spotted one will be the one to watch. Allthough that mostly yellow with black stripes one is hiding buff & orangy pin feathers under its fluff.
