I also have dorkings, my first year raising them for much the reasons you are.  I've had a very very hard time finding red's.  Do you have any suggestions?  I'm located in California.
thanks!
(also what age are you processing them?  my silvers are not toooooo skinny but they are only 13 weeks.)

I just processed some at 15 & 16 weeks old, only got birds dressed out @ 2.3-3.4 pounds. I had issues finding true RIR as well most people have the modified for egg laying that aren't that nice deep red color. Last yearr when I was searching I did find someone on eBay who sold true RIR hatching eggs, give there a check.
