Score! I have SO WANTED THAT!

So, are all of Stromberg's chicks from Duane Urch?

That is so cute! I love stories like that.

Ok, I went to feather site, and yes,I had forgotten how many drool worthy colors they have on there. Unfortunately, most of those colors are not found in the USA. :(

I think crele is beautiful, but I don't know how to pronounce it either. I didn't think Dorkings came in crele, do they?

I have rarely had a dog kill only one chicken. And, even though I have never had super expensive chickens, and I guess the going rate for chickens might be the $12-$15 you quoted..... But, a dog climbed over my fence, jumped through my netting, pushed its way through a small chicken pop door...

Thanks everyone for the Duane info, that answered lots of questions.

I have tried googling...... I found his 2012 list of Turkey, his address and phone number, But not a list of his chickens, their prices, or pictures,

That is what I keep reading...but then the same post says he has no web site...you just have to call...that also means no pictures before I buy. How do I get to see a list of what he has, his prices, and if he ships to Alaska?

Stromberg says that they sell show quality birds, including Silver Grey Dorking. Have any of you'll ordered from them? I was wondering what quality they had, either with their regular line of chickens of their show quality line. I loved the fact, that even though their show quality chicks...

That doesn't sound very good. I would take the chicks out as they hatch. My broody never pecked at her chicks.

There are black Dorkings?

What is everyone's rate of lay for their Dorkings? (Ignore when they are broody) And anyone notice a difference between the different colors? Thanks

BGMatt, did you think I was being snarky? I did mean it, I find the discussion about the temperament quite interesting. For me, temperament is a BIG determining factor over whether I want to raise a breed or not. I don't have any Dorkings right now, but I want two or three quality breeds next...

That is so very interesting!

Sheesh..... How many did you order that were supposed to be rose combed?

Nope, I am just blind! :D

Thanks so much for reposting SoCal's comment....for some reason I didn't see it at first.....must have refreshed funny.

Oh, bother! I have been thinking that I would like to stop the "mixed flock that I keep replacing about every two years" and go to two, maybe three pure breeds. I don't actually want to show, but I did want "breeder stock" instead of "hatchery stock" birds. Simply from a quality standpoint...

Thanks for the info........ That would explain things.....why I haven't found them. There is a very pretty rose comb rooster at the top of the page on Chickenbreedslist.com/Dorking I wonder where he came from, because I would be happy to own him. :D Actually...on the Dorking Club page...
