Linum

Linum

  • Band #57
  • Ron Rector line
  • Spangled
  • Owner: Arik Engstrom

Linum very clearly has the best type of all of my Orloffs. His base color is very dark, as is his beak and legs, but his eyes are yellow. He has the best beard, size and fullness-wise, and a wonderful temperament. Great leg-length and neck length, a very handsome bird. I don't plan to use him in my Spangled line, but I do plan to use him in my Mahogany line. He was my third pick of 11 cockerels, but I'm glad I've kept him because he is maturing very well. Had a bout of human aggression early on, but that has totally gone. He's not quite as affectionate as his brothers, but he still has a solid, calm disposition that makes him a viable part of my program.

No planned pairings right now, he will most likely be bred to 2nd or 3rd gen Mahogany hens.
