What Kind of Chick is This?

Yikes, don't tell me that! It's so pretty, but if it's a roo we will have to get rid of him. Because of my one year old, we have decided not to keep roos until she is older. I've heard horrible stories of roos attacking babies.

It depends on how you raise the "roo". I understand your situation though.

I know. I have heard that too. I've also been told most don't give problems and the ones who do just get culled. The thing is my little one will spend her whole day with the chickens if we let her. She absolutely loves to love on them. They have been her best friends since they arrived. She would wake up and go straight to the brooder which we kept in the classroom. Now she just wants to be outside watching, hugging, and kissing on them. I really would not want to take any chances with a bad roo. Here are some pictures so you see what I mean (again, click to see slide show):

You're raising her right!

:O I would be so, so jealous right now if that turned out to be an Orloff

They are my next project. I've got Oriental birdies, now I want Russian ones. Lol.

You know, I've never heard of Russian Orloffs until now. I googled the picture to see if that was what mine was and now I want one of those too.

Thank you. You have made my day. Most people think I'm nuts. I hear all about diseases chickens carry and how they will hurt my child. My Chicks are very clean by the way and they absolutely love my daughter just as much as she love them. They hear her voice and run to her.
