Quote: Do tell! Where did you get them? What kind of dorking are they- silver gray? We want to hear about them!

The dorking breeders club link just describes the color; that isn't the actual APA standard or how the bird is judged during the show. Don't go by color alone- that is only one factor. I recommend you get the APA standard book if you're going to show or breed. Whites are very, very, rare- I...

You may want to talk to them. I think the form of the bird comes before color, and if it is not fertile then you're stuck. But this is not my full time profession- they are doing this full time as I understand, and are trying to conserve the whites. Much depends on how serious you are about the...

If you're referring to the color of thier stock, you need to talk to them. From what I gather I think whites are so rare that fertility is an issue in the US as there is not enough breeding stock. I don't have whites, so you need to contact them if you are interested in showing or breeding. They...

Oh, just to let you know: If you are really serious about dorkings, I encourage you to make contact with the president or secretary of the Dorking Breeders Club - or maybe even join. It's only $10/year and has great info. Email: [email protected] Another place to get information is the...

Not that silver grays are bad, they're very pretty. But other colors are in serious need of preservation, and if you are able to find a good one, YOU ARE VERY LUCKY!

I'm going to the Ohio National to see how many Dorkings actually make an appearance at the show this year. I read quite a bit, on here, books, and other places, but don't really post that much. It seems like Dorking breeders are a quiet bunch. Eventually that needs to turn around so that...

Sadly, they are in need of some MAJOR support. ARE YOU THE MAN TO HELP

Good choice, I forgot about Yellow House Farms.

If you really want them you can order from Sandhill or Murray McMurray (for Silver Grays) but its best to order early. There just aren't that many breeders, and I think its a bad time of year; you may find more chicks in the spring.

Getting good dorkings is hard enough, much less SQ. There are unscrupulous types out there even selling mixed as "pure" dorkings (or some that just don't know better)- Good luck on finding some. You may have to work up to SQ with hatchery birds or culls from someone else's flock- if they...

I have some pics on my BYC page. They really need to be updated tho.
