Seeking to add some Russian Orloffs to our flock!

[ampupluv]

Hi everyone! I'm located in SE WI and have been doing some breed research and have a few new breeds I would like to add to our flock next year. We have to add on or build a bigger coop before we do and that's not happening until the spring. One of the breeds I really want to add in is Russian orloffs. But they seem extremely difficult to find. Any one have any leads or raise them where I could purchase from? Thanks soooo much!

Try Privett Hatchery. They have some. Good luck!

I know Colleen Jamison has some and she’s in Wisconsin, pretty close.

@orloffer ? Do you know anyone who raises them?
@ampupluv are you interested in hatching eggs?

Unfortunately I do not. They are rare in the U.S. and not recognized by the APA. I got my Orloff from a feed store that sourced from Privett. Good luck with your search, ampupluv! Orloffs are a great breed!

Wow, I bought chicks thinking they were another breed and turns out they are Russian Orloffs!!! They are gorgeous at 23.5 weeks old. Got them at Tractor supply here in Tejas.

All I can say is I had a couple. Sold one kept one. She was delightful. First year or t so her eggs were thin and weird. Then all of a Sudden they were great. She was friendly personable and I adored her. Got from a feed store. I totally want another couple. Sorry I don’t know a breeder. I get mostly for pets

I've never really considered it.. not set up for that at the moment. But I'm not opposed to giving it a go!

Ok! That would open your options up a lot.

They also have Orloffs at Welp Hatchery. I ordered 5 pullets who are set to arrive the end of this week.
