What color is he?

[Trimurtisan]

Not what the OP asked. I’m sure he could’ve guessed that much

Thanks for the vote of conference!

You do have very nice tufts.

Haha.

Mohagany would be Mh/Mh.
Your boy is Black Breasted Red with some spangling.
Mahogany normally is a full body color like Buckeyes, & Rhode Island Reds.

Does look more BB Red than Mahogany to me.

Thanks guys. I'll have a good look at his chest tomorrow. I can't die the life of me remember what color it is at the moment.


The coloring in his beard is actually part of the mahogany color scheme, and still seperate from spangel to the best of my readings.

This is from http://russianorloffsociety.weebly.com/breed-standard.html I don't know how accurate it is though.

Thank you very much. I've got various pullets that I'm just curious what they could make. I don't have any Orloff hens, so it's nothing very serious, just something for fun.

I see slight Spangling

with some spangling

I stand corrected Kayla.

Teehee. I’m a total newbie with genetics so anything I tell you involving genetics... best get a second opinion

Experimenting is fun, hope you have fun doing so.

It is fun indeed.
So would BBR be black patterned red duckwing? We have some Light Brahma, a lavender English Orp, and a S/G Dorking I'm daydreaming about the big fella getting comfy with.
