About the Cuckoo Orloff
A barred variety whose feathers carry the soft transverse cuckoo banding seen in the Cuckoo Leghorn, a blurred grey-on-grey barring rather than the crisp ladder of a true Barred bird. A PCGB-standardised Orloff colour, it dresses the breed's upright, beard-and-muff-framed, frost-hardy frame; lays tinted eggs.
