I have been informed by my employer that due to the AI scare, I have to disperse my entire flock prior to Sunday. I have two pair of Red Dorkings from the Roger Tice line that would make a great beginning to a flock for these. Due to the time frame and the quarantines that everyone is...
I have two pair of Red Dorkings from the Roger Tice line. I had 8 pullets last fall, but dogs killed 1 rooster and 6 hens. I have an order in from the breeder I got these eggs from. I would love some critique on these one I get a chance to get some pictures of them out of the mud (which might...

Does anyone on here know of a source for Red Dorkings in or around Arkansas? I have tried hatching shipped eggs twice now with dysmal results. Out of my first shipment of 24 eggs I got one cockerel. Out of the next shipment that are due to hatch on the 27th, I have three still going. Two...
