What about white dorkings appeals to you? The hatchery dorkings, while I'm glad they have a stronghold at the hatcheries, are not good representatives of the breed. The feature that primarily distinguishes the Dorking is a long, low, heavy, gravy bowl body. You'll be hard pressed to find that in hatchery stock, and crossing it to another breed would put you likely even further from the goal in most cases. Leghorns are dominant white plus a very light built bird with the completely wrong body type. Wyandottes are at least a heavy bird, but again wrong body type plus yellow skin, etc.Several of the mainline hatcheries sell Silver Grays and I would get chicks from them.
I'm looking for White Dorking Chickens too, does anyone have a good source for them?reviving this thread to ask about current reputable breeders of Heritage White Dorkings bred to the standard - does anyong have any recomendations? Thanks in advance.
