Our criteria for choosing a heritage breed revolved around three things: 

-Cold-hardy breed that can thrive without heated coops

-Calm disposition with gentle roosters

-Masters at free-ranging 

Very unique appearance, Orloffs seem to resemble Ptarmigans or Grouse more than your typical chicken. We continue to strive towards improving our flock and added some new genetics in 2020. We will be primarily working on our flock in 2021 and will not be offering hatching eggs.
