Rich in history, great birds

I received my first flock of Dorking chicks in April and haven't been disappointed.  They are docile and sweet, gorgeous, and taste wonderful.  The hens lay 4-5 eggs per week and the only time during the winter that laying stopped was when the temps dropped down to -11 at night and 3 during the day for a week.  Within 2 weeks, they were all back to laying their medium- large shell-pink eggs.  The cockerels have a lovely, throaty, smooth crow which is a pleasure to hear at at the crack of dawn and so far none have been aggressive at all.  My flock is allowed to free-range during the green times of year, and they do a great job feeding themselves while not straying too far.
