Russian Orloffs

[ndemerly]

One of the best looking orloff chicks (good color, and leg color) has what looks like very light feathered shanks going at least half way down? Is this something common or is it something to turn it into dinner?

The feathering on the shanks will most likely disappear as the chick matures.

Definitely NOT something to cull for as a chick.

I've never seen that with the many chicks I've hatched but, I never throw out baby with the bath water!

Ya'll sure no one could use some Roosters?

I have GOT to clean out these culls to make room for the new chicks!

If I could ship I would.

But you come get 'em and you can have all seven.

Are you going to eat them? You should and let me know how they are....

I need some girls! Or chicks. Having an awful time with shipped eggs. I am lucky to get 50% in eggs from NC, and 100% of my own, so I know it's not the bators.
I have some orloffs developing, but I had a banty roo in thier coop for a couple days so they might be minis.
