They are gorgeous;-) Is the big guy there still growing back tail feathers from his molt?

Thanks! Theyre all getting so big! Your big guy went to live with one of the pullets on a friends farm. Ill try to get you a pic Thats one of the ladies up front tho! Doing so well!

Last week I came home with 6 Russian Orloff Pullets, and since then have introduced them to the two other hens I already had. They're a joy so far, and I look forward to raising them further.
Not entirely sure if I have 6 girls, or if there's a boy or two mixed in.

I think they're somewhere between 2 to 3 months old, and they all are incredibly friendly birds.
The plan is to eventually try my hand at breeding, hopefully I'll be able to do them some good.

Could you post a pick of the combs/ comb area? The one in the forefront looks to have a pea comb but I can't really tell. They have pretty feathering!

newtnn it's a bit hard to tell from the pic. Seems like they're all pullets. The one on the right, from experience, may end up being a cockerel. Looks like you have a couple with out beard/muff. Are they being picked on by the others? You may be interested in joining our Society https://www.facebook.com/groups/uscaorloffs/

For those that may be interested, there's an Article publish in the Chickens magazine, January/February 2015 issue, on Russian Orloff. I'm not promoting the magazine but the breed , just in case
