    That was fun here is another one for you. Silver Gray Dorking Hen: Again not at all show quality, But these are the two nicest Dorkings I have. I think her tail set is too high, comb does not have enough points, and she has white earlobes. Legs and body shape seem better then the...

    Can you tell us what qualities you like/dislike about these birds? I have heard good things about them, but to me they look like they would not have much meat on there bones. So I have been reluctant to try them. I would like to hear from someone who has raised/eaten them, but is not trying...
