Russian Orloffs

Pretty sure its the same bird.

Side notes
Next time I get so many I need to tag them somehow to keep better track or not have such a variety (6 I think) plus 2 turkerys! . Being such a stoner its easy to forget things, had a bad memory as a child anyway.

I should have 35 but a few died. Counted 29 chicks and 2 turkeys this morning. Sounds about right. 1 gobble gobble died and 3 chicks.

bustedchicks that's not an Orloff, sorry. Orloff have a flat spot for a comb and this one is raised. I will upload a pic for reference when I get home from work.

Thank you TherryChicken. I hatched all the chicks except for the 2 pullets & cock in the last 3 photos

I decided this was a russian orloff based on deduction. Hope I'm not wrong.

Looks like a Welsummer. Our TSC had them a couple weeks back and we picked some up.
