Spangled Orloffs from Sand Hill???

[FreedomFarm13]

Has anyone ordered Orloffs from SH? I've been looking for some as a back-up in case the breeder I want to order from doesn't have any by the time I'm ready to order, and the only place I've really been able to find them is Sand Hill. So my question is, what kind of quality do they have? I want to breed them, but would like to get the best quality possible. If you have any pics of Orloffs from them, that would be very helpful. Thanks in advance!

For breeding/show quality birds, stick with stock from reputable breeders. Both Sandhill and Ideal Poultry have Orloffs. If you choose hatchery stock, it will be an uphill battle trying to build up a to show quality breeding population. You will need to be prepared to breed a lot, grow out a lot, and cull a lot.

Ugh, and I've already done that with some of my birds...ok, thanks @junebuggena I really appreciate your input, as always. I was leery of their stock, especially since they don't seem to have any pics of their birds on their website...guess I'll just have to wait til a breeder has some eggs/birds for me. Thanks again!
