I love all the pics! Aren't they fun to photograph? My Orloff girls always try to jump up and attack the camera when I try to pcitures of them - they like to be fully involved - lol!

Finally!!! My pullets are here!!!!

I ordered 25 Orloff's from Privett and 10 from Ideal but I lost one from Ideal. I also ordered 10 Barnevalders from Ideal to keep the Orloffs company! I have been waiting since Feb 8th!!! They are very cute chipmunk cheeked peepers and I will post some pics a little later. Step one of my Orloff Breeding Program has started....

Har Har!!!

I have a feeling my pullets are not all pullets!

Step Two of my Orloff Breeding Program is to find a good rooster....

My first fertile Orloff egg is due next week. Hoping it's not a mutt! I had a banty orloff x ameraucana roo in "time out" with them after he had my giant cochin roo pinned in a corner for 2 days. Little booger. Worst case scenario- I have a pretty EE

Nice! Good to know they can survive the trip from out west. What was your hatch rate on the total order? The PO is especially brutal here. I can hardly get eggs that go from NC to TN that aren't scrambled.
