Russian Orloffs

[Goose and Fig]

MFB- let me know if you track down those birds by Memphis!
There was an ad in the NW GA craigslist a few weeks back selling pairs for $75 because "They were on the Martha Stewart show". I emailed them a bunch of questions about leg color and comb and stuff, and guess what? No response!

I'd be glad to. I'm waiting to hear from the lady that told me about them. She's supposed to be getting me the contact info this week.

No, but I sold a few Orloffs that a guy took to Ripley and re-sold. I only sold a Ripley once last year, and that was just to dump about 50 extra hatchery roos I had.

We're thinking about selling some there this spring though.

Well I've been kicking myself in the butt for not getting them $75 for all in the cage the where a good size w/ yellow legs, hens and 1 roo.

to myself.


I wish the bigger 1 was a roo but I just don't know. I bought 7 of these as week olds and only two live. They are 7 1/2 mths old. They don't lay nor do they crow so

What do you think she or he, I have been calling both pullet.

Okay guys...picture overload! Here are my two older pullets (almost a year old) and my two younger pullets. The rooster was hiding in the coop because my DH was cleaning out the nest boxes so he (the roo) had to supervise.

Younger pullets:

Thanks...I've been working towards the ABA standard with my LF...the one hen has a lot of white on her but her head is very "intense" and the rest of her looks good. I will hold onto her through her first molt and see what happens....I am looking for a better rooster than the one I have now...he's unrelated to any of my hens or pullets but he's just got too much white...

Very nice - well minus the white " stuff" on the ground!
