    B.Y.C. Dorking Club!

    They grow VERY slowly for the first 7 or 8 months then all of a sudden....WHAM fill out almost overnight. These guys are very firm and full bodied birds that weigh a lot more than they look like they would. Plus, they are stunning! I finally got a fertile egg out of them so hope to be able to...

    Thanks. I had three cockerals to choose from and they were all nice. He had the best tail and comb combination though. I have one lone hen and probably should have taken her, but it was my first show so I was being cautious. All my Dorkings came from Dick Horstman.

    Trust me when I tell you that I know about the believability of things posted on the internet. I have written grant driven research papers in the past and am very careful about checking facts. If you read studies done in Europe where Denagard has been widely used for a longer period of time, I...

    You should look into Denagard. It is widely used in Europe (recommended for poultry over there) to treat MG and is off-label in the United States. I have read that an egg dip with the Denagard makes the eggs safe: I think the information was linked on a thread here. Good luck!

    You will love them. Mine are from Mr. Horstman, although I went with the hatching egg route to get them, and I couldn't be happier with them. I haven't tried weighing them yet. They have just started filling out over the past 6 weeks. I can tell you that they are the second heaviest roosters...

    B.Y.C. Dorking Club!

    I got a dozen Red Dorking hatching eggs from Dick Horstman last June. I only got 4 birds to hatch, three cockerals and a lone hen (P.O. destroyed the air cells in most eggs). I really enjoy the dorkings. Not only are they gorgeous, but they are nice full bodied birds. I was amazed when I picked...

    Mr. Horstman has Silver Gray and Reds and will ship as few as 12 chicks if you pay for a heat pack (min of 20 without the heat pack): I think the chicks are $6 each. I have some of his Reds and out of all my chickens they are my favorites. Very good looking birds that are full of personality.
