Hi Cooper12 !

My 'ol stompin' ground! Dad built a house in Cameron Park in 1962. We even had a cougar in the neighborhood back them. Moved to West Covina in SoCal in 1967 when the Space program was winding down and Dad went into naval weapons. So much fun in the Gold Country! I think [t is the prettiest place on earth.

If you were going to wash these white chickens how would you go about it?

Any secrets.??

 

[Arielle]

Found a message sent to me on Silver Dorkings as this is a breed a few are working on to improve. Thought I would post it for our Dorking fans.​

​

The best Dorking I ever saw ,was at the 2006 Crossroads show,a red female. She was owned by Rick Cramberg,from Oklahoma. I think she was Champion English at that show,not bad, I think over 12,000 total birds that time! She had a tremendous body! Could be used to improve type in other varieties. I haven't talked to, or heard of Rick in the last couple of years..
If a person wanted to dedicate the time to find ,breed and promote them ,the Silver Greys could be brought back to Standard specifications i'm sure!
If we look at the chantecler here in Canada,there were very few 25 years ago,today there are hundreds,spread across Canada and into the US,with many starting to be seen on Champion row!
Keep in touch

I don't know but make sure you separate your loads,,,,whites in one pile,,,reds in another

Dawn dishwashing liquid, some blueboy bluing and a touch of downey fabric softener. Start at the feet and vents, and go from there.
