Russian Orloffs

hellbender there is only one person of that I know claims to have some imported LF white Olroff. I personally don't believe them. Also only one person I know of with Bantam White Orloff. I don't know every single person with Olroff but pretty close to it lol

6 Easter Orloffs plus an EE/Orloff and a Blue Wheaten Ameraucana at the top.

I'll have to check again but there are some on FB that are in the US.

How does he look?Good for breed type?I'll get better body shots,I'm just wondering if he came from a big hatchery order.I am on the hunt for more now,but not 25!!

He is lovely!

Took some new photos of the girls over the weekend. The one in the last picture is in "chicken solitary" right now, she was only in the rabbit hutch temporarily, now she's in a large pen with some ducklings. Unfortunately she decided to stick her head into a dog kennel to grab some food and got scalped. It's healing well, over 50% healed now, but it will be a few more months before she can go back into the flock since a rooster grabbing her there to breed would be a huge issues. On the up side, she's laying me an egg about 5 days a week.
Everyone is still finishing up their molt, they have portions of their beards back, but not 100% yet.

hellbender not with all pure white. Yes some of us have whiter than normal Spangled, some working on whites but only pure whites are Bantams which 1 breeder has. Another one has whites in their line but haven't bred for it.

Here are my Easter hatch, have 9 Spangled & 3 project whites. I'm hoping the hites have even more than the parents I posted a few posts back.

Oh now them some nicely colored RO chicks

I notice you have some leg bands on your chicks so are you using color leg bands or are the bands numbered

 

[vtguania]

gander007 these are just colored zip ties. Each color represents the hen the chicks came from, it's how I keep track of them till I can recognize them. Our Society is working on having numbered leg bands made which will be for 1 yr old/older birds. Some like to use numbered leg bands and some don't, it's a matter of preference. These will be Society specific but anyone with Orloff who is interested will be able to purchase them.

I like the little zip ties, too. Only ones that aren't banded are the two blondies, which hatched late at night and I didn't have them in baskets. So one blondie from each hen, but I don't know which is which!
