Thanks Ravyn, he's a nice bird, much more typical Orloff coloring, but does not have the strong beetle brow that I love, and is not as "gamey" looking. On the flip side, he doesn't have feather stubs between his toes, either!

Nice, you can rock the baby and stare at the incubator at the same time! Hope the little one gets better soon.
After I came in the house I waffled a bit on whether I would cull, then got a FaceTime call from my 3 year old grandson. He asked me if he could come see the chickens. He'll be visiting in a month and the thought of him being attacked made me sick. (Even though he would never, ever be let in the run alone with the flock.)
I have mixed feelings. I also have Jack, who is the same age and doesn't even look sideways at me, and is much, much quieter. With a really small flock like mine, I have to be choosy in who stays and who goes.
I'm just a hobbyist, trying to build a better Orloff. And that includes nice temperament.
I have not wanted to do shipped eggs, BUT I am thinking about the possibility for next spring if I do not find what I am looking for locally. I was even scoping out e-bay tonight...lol I'm going through hatching withdrawls....lol
Like I said before....why are the nice looking guys always the jerks???? LOL Actually they are both nice looking.
