русский орлов (Google convert)

Emilie's Russian Orloff chicken at about 17 weeks.

The Orloff is a breed of chicken named after Alexei Grigoryevich Orlov (1737-1808), a Russian Count, so seems we have a bit of royalty in our backyard coop!

She's unusual with tufts and a beard that sways when she moves, and a tad nervous in general, but adds some nice color and variation to our flock.  We'll see how well she does when it comes to laying and her consistency.
