We have been lucky enough to acquire a pair of very rare Mahogany coloured Russian Orloff
The mahogany Orloff is said to be the richest coloured breed of chicken in existence.
Will have to get some footage/photos when the weather is dry!
This breed is named after Count Orlov and were first introduced into Britain in 1920 - a bantam version was created by the Germans but the breed remains rare and the American Livestock Breeds Conservancy lists the Orloff as critically endangered.
Very sad. Such a beautiful breed! They look like an eagle crossed with a Malay lol Can't get over the heavily feathered head and neck - this image doesn't do them justice so will add some footage when I can.
