Yellowhouse, what type of comb do your white dorkings have????????

Those are some of the best looking dorkings I have ever seen.

I have ordered several times thru the years from MM and twice I had demons from hell in the form of a polish rooster. I don't know if I was just unlucky twice or if they just have some mean strains. All of the other birds from them were pleasant and weren't destined to the stew pot.

Very good advice Yellowhouse.

Quote: Very well said and lots of good info for beginners and more experienced poultry people alike.

I have a question on dorkings. What size of egg are you getting, what color, how many per week? I really don't like the SG color of the dorking, but think the red and whites are nice looking birds.

For those of you who have had the dorking as a meal, would you rather eat a dorking, a la fleche, houdan, etc???????

That is so sad. I hope you get more in your future.

I could have swore that I read somewhere that they don't fly very well. But my memory ain't what it used to be.

Just a quick dorking question. I am getting some dorkings in the very near future and I am in the process of redesigning my hen boxes. Due to the slightly shorter legs that the dorking has, should I put a couple of new boxes a little lower. If so, what is the optimum height off the ground? Or...

Mrs. AK-Bird-Brain : Quote: Start by weighing all your cockerels. Remove the lower 50% right off the top. Look at the birds sideways, be looking for a rectangle. Look down over them. Be looking for breadth of shoulder, a body that's more or less as broad at the tail as it is at the...

I was wondering how the dorkings do in cold weather. I live in southern illinois but we are routinely in teens and single digits at night during the winter. Do their combs have issues or freezer burn???
