Me and my mom have been fantasizing about moving to montana and starting a homestead. We want all the fluffy cold resistant animals like a Norwegian Forest cat and a big fluffy hearding dog. My mom wants to get Scottish highland cows. And I want Chickens but I don't know wich breed to get!

Russian Orloffs are a lovely and friendly mottled cold hardy bird with fluffy beards and a stern expression. Their featherless legs and small pea combs help protect them from frost bite and we have someone here on tumblr who breeds them, personally i like their orloffs better then i ones i posted

@xoloffs

There is also the Salmon Faverolle which is a delightfully friendly, fluffy, and soft chicken breed. Its feathered feet keep it nice and toasty in cold but dry conditions and its very cute. One of my favorite breeds

There is also the Brahma, one of the largest and gentlest chicken breeds which has a delightfully small bantam form is a very fluffy and round chicken breed. Like the Orloff they can have a fierce expression but they are big softies. They also have a pea comb and are beardless. Also one of my favorite breeds

@superfluffychickens has a flock

There is also wyandottes, orpingtons, australorps and barred rocks! Production bred birds are going to do worse in extreme weather so try to source birds from breeders (especially ones in your climate) rather then hatchery birds

I’ve decided I’ll be raising some chicks this coming spring! Now I just need to decide on what breeds to get! I’m thinking of getting up to 8 pullets, and possibly another cockerel. So far, I’m thinking of:

-Barnevelders

-Barred or Partridge Rocks

-Speckled Sussexes

-Jersey Giants

-Australorps

-Langshans

-Russian Orloffs if I can find sexed pullets

-More Easter Eggers (because I miss Dorie and she was so nice, and Plum is wonderful too. Plus I love having colorful eggs, and it’d be a fun surprise to see what colors they come out as!)

I’m looking into more active, hardy breeds that won’t easily succumb to predators. Of course, friendliness is a must, as is cold-hardiness. And since they’ll be living with the Wyandottes they can’t be breeds that are too docile, or they’ll get bullied easily.

Winters here are long and dreary, with lots of extra things to worry about. But it’s important to find something to look forward to to get through it!

#chicken talk tag #I would love to have a Sumatran rooster but that’s just a daydream #they probably wouldn’t like the cold anyway #this will be updated btw if I think of other breeds of change my mind on some #just wanted to write it down so I can remember

Trick or treat!

Happy Halloween! Here is a chicken

This is an Orloff, a breed that originated in Persia, but was bred and popularized by the Russian Count Orlov, which is where the breed name came from! The fluffy elongated feathers at the chin of chickens are referred to as a beard, so this is a bearded breed :]

Science Saturday

We return to our Historical Curriculum Collection children’s book All Around Us by Wilbur L. Beauchamp, Gertrude Crampton, and William S. Gray, and published by Scott, Foresman and Company in Chicago in 1944. This is Book B in the Scott Foresman Basic Studies in Science: Curriculum Foundation Series. The series was based on the experiential “Look and Learn” approach.

Previously we highlighted sections on animals and plants from this book. Today we focus on the “Sun, Wind, and Weather” section with emphasis on sunlight and shadow, using thermometers, and the wind as force. Russian-born Chicago artist and illustrator Gregory Orloff did the illustrations for “Do Shadows Help Tell Time?” and the girls experimenting with thermometers, while the remainder are by the husband and wife team of A. F. Hurford and Miriam Story Hurford.  Miriam Hurford is remembered especially as one of the illustrators for Scott Foresman’s Dick and Jane readers, which was written by William S. Gray.

[mennonite-memories]

Nestor Mahkno, Gerhard Wall, the Selbstschutz, and the Zagradovka Massacres

Among the Mennonites with roots in Ukraine, one event that left a lasting historical trauma was the massacres that took place in the Zagradovka colony. Situated within the Kherson Oblast, the land for this colony was purchased in 1871 from Leo V. Kochubey to establish a new Mennonite colony for landless Mennonites from the Molotschna Colony. Between 1872 and 1883, 16 villages were established by the Mennonites; Alexanderfeld, Neu-Schönsee, Friedensfeld, Neu-Halbstadt, Nikolaifeld, Orloff, Blumenort, Tiege, Altonau, Rosenort, Münsterberg, Gnadenfeld, Schönau, Steinfeld, Reinfeld, and Alexanderkrone.

One of my direct ancestors and his family lived in the village of Orloff (the present-day village of Orlove near the Kherson-Dnipropetrovsk border). Gerhard Wall (Aug 9. 1840 – Nov 19, 1919) was my Great-Great-Grandfather through my grandmother Maria Wiebe’s mother’s family. According to the available information, he was initially from the Molotschna Colony (located around the city of Molochansk in the Zaporizhzhia Oblast) which means that he was one of the landless Mennonites who relocated to the Zagradovka (Zahradivka) Colony between 1872 and 1883. The reason the Zagradovka Colony has a notable place in the Mennonite historical memory is due to the massacres that took place there in the winter of 1919.

At this time, the Russian “Civil War” was in full swing. The Ukrainian lands were the operating grounds for several different armies: the Bolsheviks, the White Army, Ukrainian nationalists, the Germans, and the Austro-Hungarians, alongside various bands of Ukrainian anarchists. One of the most famous leaders among the Ukrainian Anarchists was the revolutionary Nestor Ivanovych Makhno (also known as Batko Makhno). He was the commander of the Revolutionary Insurgent Army of Ukraine and leader of the Makhnovschchina. Makhno’s forces could be opportunistic; at times fighting the Bolsheviks, sometimes forming temporary alliances with the Bolsheviks against the White Armies of Denikin and Wrangel, and even fighting against the armies of the Ukrainian People’s Republic. The goal of Makhno was to establish a form of anarcho-communism in southern Ukraine and therefore fought against anyone who attempted to establish any other polity in the region.

The name “Nestor Makhno” holds a vilified place in the Mennonite consciousness due to a series of massacres that took place in the Zagradovka colony from November 29th to December 1st, 1919. The days have come to be known as the "Schreckenstage" (Terror Days) where more than 230 Mennonites were executed by militia groups connected to Nestor Makhno. While I do not have access to many primary resources which narrate the massacres, there is one casualty list that I have found which includes Gerhard Wall and one of his sons, Heinrich Wall. The list provides the names of identifiable casualties and in my cases even mentions the manner of death. According to the list, Gerhard Wall was executed on the night of November 29th in the village of Orloff where he was shot while sitting in a chair; he was 77 at the time of his execution. His son, Heinrich Wall, is listed as being shot and burned in Orloff at the age of 41. Massacres were carried out in the villages of Gnadenfeld, Reinfeld, Orloff, Tiege, Muensterbeg, and Schoenau on the nights of November 29th and December 1st.

While the surviving chronicles describe horrendous acts perpetrated by the militias, it is important to keep in mind the historical context. One of the darker chapters in the history of the Mennonites in Ukraine comes from this period: the Selbstschutz. Despite one of the central tenets of the Mennonite faith being pacifism, many of the wealthier Mennonites in southern Ukraine formed their own “self-defense” militia to preserve the land and privileges granted to them by the Tsarist government. As revolutionaries in Ukraine were looking to redistribute land and eliminate all vestiges of Tsarist rule in Ukraine, there were many Mennonites who looked upon these developments negatively. Rather than participate in the redistribution of land, those Mennonites who wish to preserve the status quo formed a militia, receiving training and weapons from the German and Austrian armies operating in the area. When the Germans retreated from Ukraine, the Selbstschutz allied themselves with Denikin’s White Army, fighting against Ukrainian Nationalists, the Bolsheviks, and the Makhnovists. As one article about this period relates, “the aim of these landlords’ militias was to ‘restore the pre-Revolution community patterns as completely as possible'. Thus, the Selbstschutz did not start as a defensive organization but as a militia that aimed to use violence to restore the inequalities of Tsarist Russia.”

This is what must be kept in mind when reading about the Zagradovka massacres. While massacres of any kind or always inexcusable, historical accuracy is always of the utmost importance. There was a notable presence of the Selbstschutz in the Zargradovka Colony and the Mennonites here, who began as landless but over time had become quite affluent, were known to be strongly opposed to the redistribution of land. The “Makhnovist” reprisals in Zagradovka were a response to the antagonism of the Selbstschutz militia. It is also important to be aware that the “Makhnovist” militia that carried out these massacres likely had no direct order from Makhno himself and may have only been loosely associated with the Maknovshchina. Makhno himself had expressed at times the difficulty he experienced in keeping the ever-expanding militia in order and even recognized with regret various atrocities committed by them (which at times even led to him ordering the execution of his own rank for committing atrocities).

The conclusion that I have come to is that while my ancestors in Ukraine were subjected to horrendous violence at the hands of the Makhnovist militia, they were not completely blameless. As the beneficiaries of the inequalities of Tsarist rule in Ukraine, they took it upon themselves to forsake their pacifistic heritage to preserve their own benefits by military means. While my Great-Great-Great-Grandfather Gerhard was likely too old to have participated directly in the Selbstschutz, he very well may have been a supporter of them (or at the least non-resistant to their aims and objectives). This of course does not justify the atrocities that were committed in Zagradovka, but it does provide additional perspective. It would be well for those of us with Mennonite heritage to reflect on our role in the Tsarist colonizing policies at the expense of the local Ukrainians (I intend to write more about this in an upcoming post concerning the establishment of the original Mennonite Colony in Khortisya). This self-reflection is even more important today as we witness the Russian aggression and war in Ukraine. As many of us, rightly, are opposed to the imperialistic aims of the Russian Federation, we need to wrestle with our past of being pawns of Russian Imperialism when we accepted lands from the government in St. Petersburg which had previously belonged to Ukrainians and Tatars. Our historical suffering was real but our historical isolationism also resulted in a victimization that excluded recognizing how we were pawns in the victimization of others. The thought that one of my direct ancestors was executed is deeply troubling to me, but so is the fact that my ancestors willingly played a role in the imperialistic aims of Russia to the detriment of Ukrainians. While I cannot atone for this, I can at least try to understand the history and discard any unnecessary villainization of people who were also victims. Understanding and repentance are the only way forward.

Just want to tell everyone that this orloff chick, Billie Rose, failed to pip internally and was deprived of oxygen for some time, we had to help her out of the egg. She was weak at first and is blind as a result, but she's doing so good! She drinks on her own, and today she's officially eating on her own! She listens to the sound of her siblings eating to find the food and water, and when we tap she comes running over! She walks around with her head pointed up and tilts her head to hear where her siblings are.

I am so proud, seeing her thrive despite her rough start makes my heart happy!
